The utilization of steel fiber from waste tyres can be an alternative to reduce waste tyres due to the increase of tyre production in Indonesia annually. Steel fiber from waste tyre can be added to concrete mix to improve the concrete properties. In this study, the effects of steel fiber waste tyre (SFWT) on high strength concrete containing fly ash was investigated experimentally. The content of fly ash in the high strength concrete is 30% of being partially replaced the cement weight. Steel fiber waste tyres are obtained from extracting the steel wire of the waste tyres and then cut into 4 cm long. The addition of SFWT on the high strength fly ash concrete is 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, and 2% by concrete volume. The mechanical properties of concrete such as compressive strength, tensile strength, and flexural strength are tested at day 28. The test results show that the addition of 2 % SFWT on high strength fly ash concrete increase the compressive strength, tensile strength, and flexural strength of the concrete by around 9.99 %, 63.75 %, 18.18 %, respectively.

An experimental program is carried out to evaluate the mix design and mechanical properties of normal strength concrete (NSC) grade 40 MPa and high-strength concrete grade 60 and 80 MPa. The study investigates using silica fume to produce high-strength concrete grade 80 MPa and highlights the influence of adding steel fiber on the mechanical properties of normal and high-strength concrete. For NSC, the compressive strength is found at 7 and 28 days. While for higher strength concrete, the compressive strength is determined at 7, 28, and 56 days. The splitting tensile strength and flexural strength is determined at 28 days. Based on results, the specimens with 14% silica fume are higher compressive strength than the specimens with 10% silica fume by 21.8%. The presence of steel fiber increased the compressive strength of normal and high-strength concrete at 7, 28, and 56 days curing ages with different percentage and the steel fiber has an important role in increasing the splitting tensile strength and flexural strength of normal and high-strength concrete.

This paper investigates the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of ultra high strength concrete containing steel fiber. The steel fibers were added at the volume fractions of 0%, 0.5%, 0.75%, 1.0% and 1.5%. The compressive strength of the steel fiber reinforced ultra high strength concrete (SFRC) reached a maximum at 0.75% volume fraction, being a 15.5% improvement over the UHSC. The splitting tensile strength of the SFRC improved with increasing the volume fraction, achieving 91.9% improvements at 1.5% volume fraction. Strength models were established to predict the compressive and splitting tensile strengths of the SFRC. The models give predictions matching the measurements. Conclusions can be drawn that the marked brittleness with low tensile strength and strain capacities of ultra high strength concrete (UHSC) can be overcome by the addition of steel fibers.

Plain concrete is susceptible to cracking under aggressive environment such as in freezing shaft. And addition of steel fibres in plain high strength concrete is proved to be effective in cracking resistance and brittleness improvement, etc. This paper presents results of experimental investigation carried out to study the mechanical properties of steel fibre-reinforced concrete having volume fractions of 0.38%, 0.51% and 0.64% for two types of fibres respectively. The results of this study revealed that there is an increase for all the mechanical properties such as compressive strength, split tensile strength, modulus of elasticity and flexural strength. Enhancement for split tensile strength and flexural strength is more evident than compressive strength.

Fly Ash Concrete

Sulfate attack is one of the important factors affecting the durability of concrete. An experimental work had been carried out to investigate the behavior of steel fiber reinforced fly ash concrete (SFRFAC) exposed to sulfate attack in comparison with the plain concrete (PC), fly ash concrete (FAC) and steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC).The sulfate resistance of the SFRFAC, PC, FAC and SFRC under sodium sulfate attack of different concentrations were evaluated by measuring the compressive strength and flexural strength. The results show that the sulfate resistance of SFRFAC is higher than those of PC, FAC, and SFRC. With the increase of sodium solution concentration, the compressive strength and flexural strength of SFRFAC, PC, FAC and SFRC decrease first, and then increase.

Chopped Basalt Fiber

In order to improve the mechanical properties of high strength concrete, HSC, several studies have been conducted using fly ash, FA. Researchers have made it possible to achieve 100-150MPa high strength concrete. Despite the popularity of this FAHSC, there is a major shortcoming in that it becomes more brittle, resulting in less than 0.1% tensile strain. The main objective of this work was to evaluate the fresh and hardened properties of FAHSC utilizing chopped basalt fiber stands, CBFS, as an internal strengthening addition material. This was achieved through a series of experimental works using a 20% replacement of cement by FA together with various contents of CBFS. Test results of concrete mixes in the fresh state showed no segregation, homogeneousness during the mixing period and workability ranging from 60 to 110 mm. Early and long terms of compressive strength did not show any improvement by using CBFS; in fact, it decreased. This was partially substituted by the effect of FA. Whereas, the split and flexural strengths of FASHC were significantly improved with increasing the content of CBFS as well as the percentage of the split and flexural tensile strength to the compressive strength. Also, test results showed a progressive increase in the areas under the stress-strain curves of the FAHSC strains after the CBFS addition. Therefore, the brittleness and toughness of the FAHSC were enhanced and the pattern of failure moved from brittle failure to ductile collapse using CBFS. It can be considered that the CBFS is a suitable strengthening material to produce ductile FAHSC.

Flexural Ductility

High strength concrete (HSC) characterized by high compressive strength but lower ductility compared to normal strength concrete. This low ductility limits the benefit of using HSC in building safe structures. Nanomaterials have gained increased attention because of their improvement of mechanical properties of concrete. In this paper we present an experimental study of the flexural behavior of reinforced beams composed of high-strength concrete and nanomaterials. Eight simply supported rectangular beams were fabricated with identical geometries and reinforcements, and then tested under two third-point loads. The study investigated the concrete compressive strength (50 and 75 N/mm2) as a function of the type of nanomaterial (nanosilica, nanotitanium and nanosilica/nanotitanium hybrid) and the nanomaterial concentration (0%, 0.5% and 1.0%). The experimental results showed that nano particles can be very effective in improving compressive and tensile strength of HSC, nanotitanium is more effective than nanosilica in compressive strength. Also, binary usage of hybrid mixture (nanosilica + nanotitanium) had a remarkable improvement appearing in compressive and tensile strength than using the same percentage of single type of nanomaterials used separately. The reduction in flexural ductility due to the use of higher strength concrete can be compensated by adding nanomaterials. The percentage of concentration, concrete grade and the type of nanomaterials, could predominantly affect the flexural behavior of HSRC beams.
