include steel fibers, glass fibers, synthetic fibers and natural fibers - each of which lend varying properties to the concrete. Besides that, the character of fiber reinforced concrete changes with type of concrete, fiber materials, geometries, distribution, orientation and volume fraction.

Next level concrete performance. Steel fiber reinforcement has been around since the 1970-ies and continues to evolve with time. The bents and hooks are crucial to the fiber’s anchoring performance and subsequent concrete ductility.These features, in combination with steel elongation, are the main-differentiators of our Dramix® steel fiber concrete reinforcement series.

without steel fibers. Also the stresses are worked out. The test results shows that steel fiber reinforced concrete is an excellent new type of composite material compared with ordinary concrete as thickness of road is reduced without affecting the load carrying capacity and is a cost effective technology.

1.1.1 Steel Reinforced Concrete The steel bars are reinforced into the concrete. The bars have a rough, corrugated surface thus allowing better bonding with steel rebars the concrete gets extra tensile strength. The compression strength, bending also show marked improvement thermal expansion characteristic of steel rebars and concrete shall match.

The research results show that: the increase in strain rate pushed up the dynamic compressive strength of the SFRHSC, that is, the failure degree of the specimen was greatly enhanced by the strain rate; under the air pressure of 0.7MPa, the specimen with 1.0 % of steel fiber had the highest dynamic compressive strength (180.9MPa), 22.6 % higher

Steel fiber reinforced concrete is comprised of hydrolic cements containing fine and course aggregates and steel fiber. A superplasticizer is often used to enhance the mix workability. Steel fiber products are available in a variety of types and sizes from various manufacturers.

The dynamic mechanical properties of steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) under high temperature and high strain rate were studied using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) of 74 mm in diameter. As it is difficult to achieve constant strain rate loading in SHPB experiments with high temperature and high strain rate, this paper first presents a method for determining the strain rate

strength and dynamic modulus of steel, polypropylene, nylon, and glass fiber reinforced concrete. Previous studies prove that adding fibers to concrete alters the propagation of ultrasonic pulse velocity waves. Therefore, each type of fiber-reinforced concrete will have a unique relationship between ultrasonic pulse

steel fiber-reinforced mortar appears to be slightly more strain rate sensitive than plain mortar, which is likely to be due to the multiple cracking of the matrix [6]. The energy absorbed by steel fiber-reinforced concrete under impact loads can be about 20 to 100 times that absorbed by plain concrete.

Dynamic Tests of Steel-Fiber Reinforced Concrete Frames. Sep 01, 1994 Dynamic tests of two sets of parallel one-bay, two-story concrete plane frames were carried out at the University of British Columbia to assess the effectiveness of using steel fiber reinforced concrete in the design of seismic-resistant structures.

The effect of corrosion-induced damage on the seismic response of reinforced concrete (RC) circular bridge piers has been extensively investigated in the last decade, both experimentally and numerically. Contrarily, only limited research is presently available on hollow-section members, largely employed worldwide and intrinsically more vulnerable to corrosion attacks. In this paper, fiber

element analysis is carried out to study the behaviour of steel fiber reinforced concrete beams. The strength of reinforced concrete beam is studied by varying the percentage of steel fibers in concrete. The analysis is done using ANSYS workbench 16.1. The ultimate load carrying capacity and deformation of the steel

fiber reinforced concrete. For this purpose nine mixes, one plain control mix and eight fiber reinforced mixes were prepared. Six of the mixes were reinforced in a hybrid form. Four different types of fibers were used in combination, two of which were macro steel fibers, and the other two were micro fibers. Volume percentage of

The values obtained from the design calculations are compared with the experimental results of reinforced concrete beams with 20kg/m 3 and 60 kg/m 3 of steel fibers submitted to four-point bending tests. In the first part, the procedures for the classification and characterization of the material are explained.

full-scale tests have shown that steel fibers in combina-tion with reinforcing bars can increase the moment ca-pacity of reinforced concrete beams (Henager and Doherty 1976; Henage r 1977a). Steel fibers can also provide an adequate internal re-straining mechanism when shrinkage-compensating ce-ments are used, so that the concrete system will per-

Resumen: The advantages of High Strength Fiber Reinforced Concrete (HSFRC) in static behavior highlighted by many researchers suggest it is a promising material to withstand dynamic loads. However, available experimental results regarding blast performance of HSFRC structural elements are still limited. The results of exploratory series of tests using a high strength concrete, over 100 MPa

In order to explore the influence of basalt-polypropylene hybrid fiber on the static mechanical properties and dynamic compression properties of fly-ash concrete, 16 groups of basalt-polypropylene hybrid fiber fly-ash concrete (HBPC) and 1 group of benchmark concrete were designed and prepared. The slump, static compressive strength, static splitting tensile strength, and dynamic

Q.: Are special techniques needed to finish steel-fiber-reinforced concrete to prevent fibers from protruding from the surface? A.: Although most conventional equipment can be used to finish concrete with steel-fiber reinforcement, some different techniques are needed to get the best possible results, according to ACI 544, "Guide for Specifying, Proportioning, Mixing, Placing, and Finishing

A specially designed large-scale Hopkinson bar (φ100 mm) with hollow aluminum alloy bar as transmitted bar was used to measure the dynamic spall strength of steel-fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC).The experimental results indicate that the steel fibers significantly enhance the spall strength of the SFRC.

In order to investigate the static and dynamic flexural behavior of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) beams, twelve half-scale beams (125 × 250 × 2438 mm) were fabricated and tested under quasi-static and drop-weight impact loading conditions.

Fiber reinforced concrete decreases efficiently the brittleness of concrete, and it improves its characteristics. There are two main types of fibers: steel fibers and polypropylene fibers which have been studied in recent years. The ductility of concrete is an important property that can be increased by using steel fiber reinforcement.

Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) is an appropriate material for protective structure and may undergo fire, impact and the coupled effects of them. To investigate the dynamic failure behavior of SFRC after elevated temperature, a mesoscale simulation method was established. In the approach, the SFRC was regarded as a four-phase composite material consisting of aggregate particles, mortar

Reinforced Concrete. Fiber reinforced concrete can be defined as a "composite material consisting of mixtures of cement, mortar or concrete and discontinuous, discrete, uniformly dispersed fibers". Continuous meshes, woven fabric and long wires or rods are not considered to be discrete fibers. The following fibers are could be used as in
