Residual Properties

Steel-fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) is being increasingly applied to various buildings and civil infrastructure as an advanced cementitious composite. In recent years, the requirements for SFRC in the construction industry have increased. Additionally, the fire resistance of SFRC has attracted attention; therefore, numerous investigations regarding the residual properties of SFRC have been conducted. This paper critically reviews the mechanical properties of SFRC subjected to elevated temperatures, including its residual compressive strength, flexural strength, tensile strength, elastic properties, fracture properties, and stress–strain relationships. The residual mechanical performance of SFRC and the action mechanism of steel fibers are reviewed in detail. Moreover, factors affecting the explosive spalling of concrete at high temperatures as well as the effect of steel fibers on the microstructure of heated concrete are discussed. It is demonstrated that, in general, SFRC exhibits better residual mechanical properties when exposed to elevated temperatures than plain concrete and can prevent the risk of explosive spalling more effectively. The purpose of this literature review is to provide an exhaustive insight into the feasibility of SFRC as a refractory building material; additionally, future research needs are identified.

Fiber Concrete

It used conventional techniques and materials prepared high strength fiber reinforced concrete whose strength class is above C100 and it studied the effect of fiber content on the mechanical properties and elastic modulus. It also studied the fire resistance of fiber reinforced concrete. Results suggest that the strength of 28d concrete is above 100MPa and the highest strength is 126.4MPa. Under the same ratio conditions, the greater the volume content of steel fiber concrete flexural strength, the splitting tensile strength is higher. The steel fiber volume only affect elastic modulus of concrete little. When it heats to 300 °C, the no fiber concrete comminuted burst while the fiber concrete does not damaged at elevated temperatures up to 300 °C and continue to heat up, the crushing damage occurs at about 460 °C. Has not been damaged concrete specimens at 300 °C, the quality have emerged about 3% decline, while the compressive strength increased by 35%-52%, the highest strength reached 180.3MPa.

This study investigated the combine effect of 0.2 % drink cans and steel fibers with volume fractions of 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5% and 3% to the mechanical properties and impact resistance of concrete. Hooked-end steel fiber with 30 mm and 0.75 mm length and diameter, respectively was selected for this study.  The drinks cans fiber were twisted manually in order to increase friction between fiber and concrete. The results of the experiment showed that the combination of steel fibers and drink cans fibers improved the strength performance of concrete, especially the compressive strength, flexural strength and indirect tensile strength. The results of the experiment showed that the combination of steel fibers and drink cans fibers improved the compressive strength, flexural strength and indirect tensile strength by 2.3, 7, and 2 times as compare to batch 1, respectively. Moreover, the impact resistance of fiber reinforced concrete has increase by 7 times as compared to non-fiber concretes. Moreover, the impact resistance of fiber reinforced concrete consistently gave better results as compared to non-fiber concretes. The fiber reinforced concrete turned more ductile as the dosage of fibers was increased and ductility started to decrease slightly after optimum fiber dosage was reached. It was found that concrete with combination of 2% steel and 0.2% drink cans fibers showed the highest compressive, split tensile, flexural as well as impact strength.

Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete

Abstract: Reinforced concrete structures are frequently in need of repair and strengthening as a result of numerous environmental causes, ageing, or material damage under intense stress conditions, as well as mistakes made during the construction process. RC structures are repaired using a variety of approaches nowadays. The usage of FRC is one of the retrofitting strategies. Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) was used in this investigation because it contains randomly dispersed short discrete steel fibers that operate as internal reinforcement to improve the cementitious composite's characteristics (concrete). The main rationale for integrating small discrete fibers into a cement matrix is to reduce the amount of cement used. The principal reason for incorporating short discrete fibers into a cement matrix is to reduce cracking in the elastic range, increase the tensile strength and deformation capacity and increase the toughness of the resultant composite. These properties of SFRC primarily depend upon length and volume of Steel fibers used in the concrete mixture. In India, the steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) has seen limited applications in several structures due to the lack of awareness, design guidelines and construction specifications. Therefore, there is a need to develop information on the role of steel fibers in the concrete mixture. The experimental work reported in this study includes the mechanical properties of concrete at different volume fractions of steel fibers. These mechanical properties include compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength and to study the effect of volume fraction and aspect ratio of steel fibers on these mechanical properties. However, main aim of the study was significance of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with fiber reinforced concrete layer and to investigate how these beams deflect under strain. The objective of the investigation was finding that applying FRC to strengthen beams enhanced structural performance in terms of ultimate load carrying capacity, fracture pattern deflection, and mode of failure or not.
