Tire production is increasing every year due to the increase in vehicle sales. The generation and disposal of waste are inherent to life itself and have presented very serious problems to the human community in China. Recently, some research has been devoted to the use of tire-recycled steel fibers in concrete. This study is focusing on the use of tire-recycled steel fibers. Several volume ratios of tire-recycled steel fibers were used in concrete mix to fabricate and test. Reinforced concrete obtains evidence and satisfactory improvement by adding tire-recycled steel fibers, mostly in compressive strength, splitting strength, flexural tensile strength, and flexural toughness. The strength and flexural toughness of the tire-recycled steel fiber reinforced concrete are lower than those of industrial steel fibers. To obtain concrete with approximately the same strength or toughness, the content of tire-recycled steel fibers should be about 1%-2% higher than that of industrial steel fibers. In addition, the load-deflection curve tends to become fuller after the first crack, and the second peak of the load continues to increase. The steel fiber reinforced concrete is getting closer to the ideal elastic-plastic material.

Reduced Scale

In order to study the flexural behavior of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) shield tunnel segment, two full scale shield tunnel segments and twelve reduced scale shield tunnel segments were made and tested. Based on the experiment study, the effectiveness of reduced scale segment was analyzed. Meanwhile, based on the fail mode, load-deflection curves and crack width, the part substitution of steel reinforcement by steel fibers was studied. Test results showed that the reduced scale model can reflect the flexural behavior of full scales tunnel segment and 45kg/m3 steel fibers of 3D type can replace 17% longitudinal reinforcement and 70% stirrups.

Frp Confinement

In this study, the co-effects of steel fibers and FRP confinement on the concrete behavior under the axial compression load are investigated. Thus, the experimental tests were conducted on 18 steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) specimens confined by FRP. Moreover, 24 existing experimental test results of FRP-confined specimens tested under axial compression are gathered to compile a reliable database for developing a mathematical model. In the conducted experimental tests, the concrete strength was varied as 26 MPa and 32.5 MPa and the steel fiber content was varied as 0.0%, 1.5%, and 3%. The specimens were confined with one and two layers of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) sheet. The experimental test results show that simultaneously using the steel fibers and FRP confinement in concrete not only significantly increases the peak strength and ultimate strain of concrete but also solves the issue of sudden failure in the FRP-confined concrete. The simulations confirm that the results of the proposed model are in good agreement with those of experimental tests.

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.

Interface Bond

The interface bond between steel fibers and concrete matrix is the key of carrying capacity of steel fiber reinforced concrete(SFRC). In marine tidal fluctuation zone and splashed area, steel fibers will be rusty, and the bending toughness of SFRC was weakened. In this study, we tried to improve corrosion resistance of steel fiber and the interface bond strength by depositing zinc phosphate coating on steel fiber. These zinc phosphate steel fiber reinforced concrete(ZSFRC) have higher anti-corrosion ability. After corrosion they still have higher bending toughness than common SFRC.

This paper is the first part of an extensive work focusing the technological development of steel fiber reinforced concrete pipes (FRCP). Here is presented and discussed the experimental campaign focusing the test procedure and the mechanical behavior obtained for each of the dosages of fiber used. In the second part ("Steel fiber reinforced concrete pipes. Part 2: Numerical model to simulate the crushing test"), the aspects of FRCP numerical modeling are presented and analyzed using the same experimental results in order to be validated. This study was carried out trying to reduce some uncertainties related to FRCP performance and provide a better condition to the use of these components. In this respect, an experimental study was carried out using sewage concrete pipes in full scale as specimens. The diameter of the specimens was 600 mm, and they had a length of 2500 mm. The pipes were reinforced with traditional bars and different contents of steel fibers in order to compare their performance through the crushing test. Two test procedures were used in that sense. In the 1st Series, the diameter displacement was monitored by the use of two LVDTs positioned at both extremities of the pipes. In the 2nd Series, just one LVDT is positioned at the spigot. The results shown a more rigidity response of the pipe during tests when the displacements were measured at the enlarged section of the socket. The fiber reinforcement was very effective, especially when low level of displacement was imposed to the FRCP. At this condition, the steel fibers showed an equivalent performance to superior class pipes made with traditional reinforced. The fiber content of 40 kg/m3 provided a hardening behavior for the FRCP, and could be considered as equivalent to the critical volume in this condition.
