Through the three-point bending test on the specimens of steel fiber reinforced high strength concrete (SFHSC), the effects of influencing factors including water-cement ratio (W/C) and the fiber volume fraction (ρf) upon the critical value(JC) of J integral were studied. The results show that the variation tendencies of JC are different under different factors. JC meets the linear statistical relation with W/C, ρf, respectively.

The reactive powder concrete (RPC) was used as concrete repair material in this paper. The influence of steel fiber, steel fiber + MgO, and steel fiber + MgO + polypropylene fiber (PPF) on the mechanical properties of RPC repair materials and the splitting tensile strength between RPC and old concrete was studied. Influences of steel fiber, MgO, and PPF on the splitting tensile strength were further examined by using scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and drying shrinkage test. Results indicated that the compressive and flexural strength was improved with the increasing of steel fiber volume fraction. However, the bonding strength showed a trend from rise to decline with the increasing of steel fiber volume fraction. Although MgO caused mechanical performance degradation of RPC, it improved bonding strength between RPC and existing concrete. The influence of PPF on the mechanical properties of RPC was not obvious, whereas it further improved bonding strength by significantly reducing the early age shrinkage of RPC. Finally, the relationship of drying shrinkage and splitting tensile strength was studied, and the equation between the splitting tensile strength relative index and logarithm of drying shrinkage was obtained by function fitting.

The effects of aggregate size and fiber volume fraction on the flexural behavior of 70MPa high strength steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) were investigated in this work. Test variables consist of fiber volume fraction (0, 1 and 2 %) and maximum aggregate size (8, 13 and 20 mm). The prism for flexural test was 100 x 100 x 400 mm and was tested under four points loading. Flexural toughness index was measured using ASTM C 1018 procedure. Test results indicated that the addition of steel fiber to 70MPa high strength concrete improves flexural and post-cracking behaviors. This phenomenon is remarkable for SFRC mixture with higher fiber content and smaller aggregate size. Also, the flexural toughness of high strength SFRC depends primarily on fiber content. The maximum aggregate sizes were secondary in importance.

The ultimate load, fracture energy and equivalent bending strength of hybrid steel fiber reinforced mortar were investigated with a constant fiber volume fraction in this paper. The results showed that ultimate load of hybrid steel-fiber reinforced mortar was higher than that of mono-fiber reinforced mortar; fracture energy and equivalent bending strength increased with the volume fraction of steel fiber with end hooks.

Shrinkage experiments were done to determine the influence of the volume fraction of steel fiber-reinforcement on the bonding behavior between new concrete and old concrete. The mechanics of the model of restricted shrinkage upon the adherence of new steel fiber reinforced concrete to old concrete are described. The results demonstrate that the difference of shrinkage between the new and the old concrete can been reduced by adding steel fiber to the new concrete. The decrease of shrinkage difference reduces the shrinkage force at the adhesive interface, which improves the adhesion of new concrete to old concrete and the magnitude of the decrease of shrinkage difference is correlated to the steel fiber volume fraction.

In this study, the effect of fire flame on the punching shear strength of steel fiber reinforced concrete flat plates was experimentally investigated using nine half-scale specimens with dimensions of 1500×1500 mm and a total thickness of 100 mm. The main investigated variables comprised the steel fiber volume fraction 0, 1, and 1.5% and the burning steady state temperature 500 and 600 °C. The specimens were divided into three groups, each group consists of three specimens. The specimens in the first group were tested with no fire effect to be the reference specimens, while the others of the second and third groups were tested after being exposed to fire-flame effect. The adopted characteristics of the fire test were; (one hour) burning time duration and 500 and 600 °C steady state temperature with sudden cooling process (water sprinkling directly after burning). The test results proved that exposing to direct fire effect for one hour caused a reduction in the punching shear strength with an increase in the ultimate mid-span deflection. Also, it was noticed that using steel fiber in the concrete mix leads to a significant increase in the punching shear strength for both the unburned and burned specimens. The ultimate punching load increased by about 11 and 16.6% for the unburned specimens with 1.0 and 1.5% steel fiber volume fraction, respectively, and by about 22.4 and 19% for the burned specimens at 500 °C with 1.0 and 1.5% steel fiber volume fraction, respectively. While, it was increased by about 29.2 and 21.5% for the burned specimens at 600 °C with 1.0 and 1.5% steel fiber volume fraction, respectively, as compared with the reference specimen of each group. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091751 Full Text: PDF

In this paper, the flexural performance of steel fiber combine aggregate concrete under the different factor (water cement ratio, quantity of light aggregate, steel fiber volume fraction, and the types of steel fiber) is studied. And the orthogonal experiment method is adopted. From the experiments, it could be found that the most important factor affecting the flexural strength is the steel fiber volume fraction, and then the types of steel fiber, the water cement ratio, and the quantity of light aggregate in the order. With the increasing of the steel fiber volume fraction, the flexural strength of concrete improves obviously. On the basis of the experiment, the relationship formula of flexural strength and the cube compressive strength is given.

In this paper, an experimental investigation was carried out to examine the influence of hooked end steel fiber volume fraction and curing conditions on the compressive performance of concrete produced by using ordinary portland cement (OPC) and alkali-activated slag (AAS). Three different volume fractions of 0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5% were used in OPC and AAS concrete mixtures. Cylindrical specimens with 100 x 200mm were tested for compressive behavior of both concretes at 3, 7 and 28 days of curing age. Test results showed that curing conditions had a significant effect on compressive properties in the hardened OPC and AAS concretes. The addition of steel fibers generated a decrease in compressive strength of OPC while an increase in the compressive strength of AAS concrete was shown with adding steel fiber.

The incorporation of a small amount of steel fibers or fine polypropylene fibers in concrete can increase its impact resistance. But steel fiber has the problems of corrosion, high cost and high mess. The effect of fine polypropylene fibers in inhibiting the impact crack is not effective. The research was taken to measure the properties of fresh concrete mixture of Synthetic Macro-fiber reinforced concrete. And investigated the influence of fiber length and volume fraction on the impact resistance of Synthetic Macro-fiber reinforced concrete. The results showed that these fibers could obviously improve the impact resistance of concrete. There was a best Synthetic Macro-fiber volume fraction. The length of the Synthetic Macro-fiber had a certain influence on the impact resistance of concrete.
