The addition of steel fibers into concrete mix can significantly improve the engineering properties of concrete. The mechanical behaviors of steel fiber reinforced high-performance concrete with fly ash (SFRHPFAC) are studied in this paper through both static compression test and dynamic impact test. Cylindrical and cube specimens with three volume fractions of end-hooked steel fibers with volume fraction of 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5% (39.25, 78.50, and 117.75 kg/m3) and aspect ratio of 64 are used. These specimens are then tested for static compression and for dynamic impact by split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) at strain rate of 30–60 s−1. The results reveal that the failure mode of concrete considerably changes from brittle to ductile with the addition of steel fibers. The plain concrete may fail under low-strain-rate single impact whereas the fibrous concrete can resist impact at high strain rate loading. It is shown that strain rate has great influence on concrete strength. Besides, toughness energy is proportional to the fiber content in both static and dynamic compressions.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the freeze-thaw resistance, one of the most important durability indicators, of high-performance concrete made of fibers (nylon and polypropylene), AE agent, viscosity agent, and fly ash, an industrial by-product. While FN-1 showed the best freeze-thaw resistance with an about 2.8% relative dynamic modulus of elasticity, PV-2 showed the worst results, with an about 7.4% modulus, in comparison tests with GC. Most of the test samples showed better compressive strength than GC. Especially, N-1 showed the greatest compressive strength increase of 8%. Also, the test samples mixed with FA and PP showed a 2-4% compressive strength increase effect.

Admixture is a new material used for high-performance concrete. It is mainly used to improve the construction property and service performance and the durability of the concrete. At present, admixture is mainly made of a single component such as the slag, fly ash, silica fume, or mixed with a small amount of plaster. Different admixtures have different effects on the concrete and they have both advantages and disadvantages separately. Based on the principle of “Strength Synergistic Effect” of the composite materials, if the different kinds of admixtures are mixed into the concrete with suitable proportion, the advantages can be developed and the disadvantages will be avoided. In this study, the wide sources of admixtures such as slag, fly ash and limestone are used in the composite tests to develop a new kind of composite admixture which uses the slag as main raw material and has better performance.
