Can adding steel fibers affect the workability of the concrete?

When using STABILS steel fibers, it can be assumed that the concrete consistency is hardly affected up to a typical fiber dosage of 30 kg/m³..

The addition of steel fibers usually leads to a loss of consistency.

STABILS steel fibers distribute well in fresh concrete

For certain applications with a fiber dosage greater than 30 kg/m³, it is necessary to adjust the formulation to the steel fiber quantity. To ensure the flowability and workability of the steel fiber concrete, the use of superplasticizers is necessary.
