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.

This paper studied experimentally the impact mechanical properties of bamboo fiber and hybrid steel fiber reinforced concrete. Steel fiber is already used in construction widely, but it is expensive in cost. As a kind of green building material, bamboo fiber can be used in the infrastructures together with concrete to improve the concretes mechanical properties. In order to investigate the impact mechanical properties of concrete reinforced with bamboo fiber and steel fiber, a series of concrete specimens reinforced with bamboo fiber, steel fiber or both steel fiber and bamboo fiber are investigated with self-designed impact device. The impact resistance abilities are tested and compared.

The self-compacting concrete (SCC) was invented to overcome the compaction problems in deep sections, owing to its perfect workability characteristics. Steel fibers when used with SCC would affect the required fluidity characteristics but improve its impact resistance. In this research, an experimental work was conducted to evaluate the impact response of micro-steel fiber-reinforced SCC, under flexural impact. A 5.47 kg free-falling mass was dropped repeatedly from 100 mm height on the top center of 270 mm-length beam specimens. Eight mixtures with two design grades of 30 and 50 MPa were prepared to distinguish the normal and high-strength SCCs. The distinguishing variable for each design grade was the fiber content, where four volumetric contents of 0%, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1.0% were used. The test results showed that the impact resistance and ductility were significantly improved due to the incorporation of micro-steel fibers. The percentage improvements were noticeably higher at failure stage than at cracking stage. For the 30 MPa mixtures, the maximum percentage improvements at cracking and failure stages were 543% and 836%, respectively. Weibull’s linear correlations with R2 values of 0.84 to 0.97 were obtained at the failure stage, which meant that the impact failure number followed the Wiebull distribution.

Dynamic mechanical properties of silica fume concrete in a number of strain rate under the conditions of dynamic compression mechanical properties subjected to various strain rates were studied, and gained the stress versus strain curves, details of an experimental investigation using 74 mm-diameter split Hopkinson pressure bar(SHPB) apparatus were presented. The results showed that: The admixture of silica fume concrete impact resistance, especially under the impact of the performance of high-speed has a very important influence, with the impact velocity increased, the strain rate increase, and its impact more obvious.
