Helix<\/span>\u00ae<\/span> is a short-twisted steel \u2018micro bar\u2019 used as a structural <\/span>replacement for conventional steel reinforcing. Due to its <\/span>unique shape and resulting behavior, Helix<\/span>\u00ae<\/span> can replace up to <\/span>100% of traditional steel reinforcing, while improving the <\/span>shear strength and durability of concrete.<\/span>\u200b<\/p>

\u200bThe image on the right shows the size of each Helix<\/span>\u00ae<\/span> micro <\/span>rebar: just one inch long with a square cross section, the <\/span>distance from one face to the other only .016\u201d (.4mm). But <\/span>there\u2019s a big difference between Helix<\/span>\u00ae<\/span> and other fibers: Helix<\/span>\u00ae<\/span> is <\/span>TWISTED<\/span><\/b>, with five full twists along the 1\u201d length.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

To determine the correct dosage:<\/span><\/b>\u200b<\/p>

  1. Send CICFS, LLC your concrete structural drawings, including the rebar schedule; |\u00a0<\/span>\u200b<\/li>
  2. CICFS engineering team in close collaboration with Helix<\/span>\u00ae<\/span> then determines the required Helix<\/span>\u00ae<\/span> dosage to provide <\/span>equivalent structural performance to the rebar schedule; |\u00a0<\/span>\u200b<\/li>
  3. If you are planning an ICF Project, we strongly recommended that you use the CICFS Structural Design Services <\/span>to ensure that your structural design is optimized for the Quad-Lock ICF Building system and Helix<\/span>\u00ae<\/span> use.<\/span><\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
