PRIMX Full-Scale Test Jelgava

We Built It and We Broke It. PrīmX SFRSSC is 33% stronger, more load-bearing than conventional concrete!

Our recent double full-scale test pushed the boundaries of structural performance, featuring two concrete slabs: traditional steel fiber-reinforced concrete and PrīmX's steel fiber-reinforced self-stressing concrete.

Through rigorous SLS and ULS loading tests to complete failure, we exceeded industry standards. The traditional slab held up admirably, collapsing at 159 tons. However, PrimX shattered expectations by withstanding an astonishing 211 tons before collapsing. Witnessing this milestone was a testament to our commitment to innovation and sustainability in construction.

Through rigorous testing, PrīmX SFRSSC demonstrated that it surpasses traditional concrete in strength, safety, and sustainability. From serviceability to ultimate limit states, our system outperforms at every stage, offering increased load-bearing capacity and reduced shrinkage cracking. The slab included specialized fiber optics sensors and examining slabs with a thickness of only 150 mm, marks a pivotal moment in concrete testing.

The data obtained will impact future structural designs, ensuring alignment with safety standards and advancing the application of PrimX technology across diverse structures and conditions. Watch our video to see how the full-scale test was conducted and what industry experts have to say.

Thank you to the Primekss team and all experts involved for their invaluable contributions to this journey of discovery.
