In this paper, three different kinds of steel fibers, being micro (M), end-hooked (H), and corrugated (C), commonly used in engineering applications, are added to high-strength lightweight aggregate concrete (HLAC) to study the effects of steel fiber and volume content ratio of fiber on the compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural strength of HLAC. The range of steel fiber volume content fraction studied is 0.5% to 2.0%. The research shows that different types of steel fiber have different effects on the mechanical properties and toughness of HLAC. M steel fibers have the best reinforcing performance on the mechanical properties. The study also shows that the toughness of M steel fibers is the best with the same fiber content. The toughening effect of H and C steel fibers can only reach 2/3 and 1/2 of M steel fibers, respectively. At the end of this paper, the unified strength formula and toughness index of these three kinds of high-strength steel fiber lightweight aggregate concrete (HSLAC) with different fiber contents are given to provide a reference for engineering practice and design.

Static Mechanical Properties

Since high strength of lightweight aggregate concrete leads to increased brittleness, fiber reinforcement should be considered for improving strength and ductility. 5 groups of SFLWC specimens with different steel fiber volumes including 0.0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.0% were tested to investigate the effect of steel fiber content on the static mechanical properties and impact resistance of lightweight aggregate concrete. The static mechanical properties include the prismatic compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, first-crack flexural strength, flexural strength, and flexural toughness, etc. The experimental results indicated that addition of steel fiber can greatly improve such mechanical properties as the splitting tensile strength, flexural strength, flexural toughness and impact resistance, but leads to a little effect on compressive strength. Further more, the author suggests the feasible volume ratio of this kind of steel fiber is 1-1.5%.

Tests were carried out to study mechanical properties of hybrid fiber reinforced full lightweight aggregate concrete (HFRFLAC), the hybrid fiber was composed by steel fiber and polypropylene fiber, the expanded-shale and lightweight sand were used as coarse and fine aggregates. The apparent density and strengths in cubic compressive, splitting tensile and flexural tensile states of HFRFLAC were obtained. The results show that the average dry apparent density increases with the increasing cement content, which is much more affected by fraction of steel fiber by volume than mass content of polypropylene fiber; the tensile strengths increase somewhat with the increasing mass content of polypropylene fiber; all of the strengths increase with the increasing fraction of steel fiber by volume, and obvious are the enhancement of tensile strengths; there are somewhat relevance between the effects of polypropylene fiber and steel fiber on mechanical properties of HFRFLAC.

Experiments were conducted to study the basic properties of steel fiber reinforced lightweight aggregate concrete (SFLAC) mixed with machine-made sand and expanded-shale. The effects of sand ratio and cement content on the cubic and axial compressive strengths, splitting and axial tensile strengths, flexural tensile strength as well as compressive and tensile elastic modulus of SFLAC are analyzed comparing with those of LAC in the same conditions. Data from the experiments shows that, the steel fiber has advantages to every mechanical properties of LAC especially to the tensile strengths, and also modifies the abruptness failure states of LAC into multi-cracked characteristics of SFLAC. The optimum mix proportion is suggested for getting better properties of SFLAC.

Aiming at the high expense of high strength lightweight aggregate concrete (HSLWAC), low-cost HSLWAC was produced making use of the industrial wastes including fly-ash (FA) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) as admixture, and the influences of these admixtures on the workability and mechanical properties of HSLWAC were studies. Result shows that HSLWAC whose cubic compressive strength is high to 70MPa at the age of 28d can be produced with mixing admixtures; the effect of mixing GGBS to the strength of HSLWAC is better than that of mixing FA; and mixing admixtures is useful for the improvement of the workability of HSLWAC; However, the brittleness of HSLWAC rises with the increase of its strength.
