The article discusses the terms and definitions that are increasingly appearing in the open press and on the Internet, confusing well-established concepts. The purpose of considering terminology issues is an attempt to draw the attention of the community of builders – scientists and practitioners to the inadmissibility of inaccuracy and incorrect choice of terms and definitions in the technical, scientific and even regulatory literature. The article discusses the transformation (changes) of terminology in the field of dense concretes, reinforced concrete structures, as well as structures based on a building composite – steel fiber reinforced concrete. In particular, concrete is a composite, reinforced concrete is not a collective name for reinforced concrete structures and products, but material, moreover, is composite. At the same time, steel fiber concrete is a hardened concrete. This approach is an important reason for restraining widespread use in the practice of building structures based on steel fiber reinforced concrete. These terms are often used in the open press, depriving the discussed topics of physical meaning, and, as a result, the impossibility of obtaining the expected result. At the same time, the open press provides information on composite materials, the peculiarities of creating and managing their properties. The article presents the established generally accepted terms and definitions that correspond to the physical nature of concrete, reinforced concrete structures, composite materials and structures based on composite – steel fiber reinforced concrete. The definition of composite materials, the principles of their creation, as well as the features of the composite – steel fiber reinforced concrete and methods of forming its structure are presented. A method is shown for obtaining the properties of steel fiber reinforced concrete in accordance with the stress-strain state of the developed structural element and creating structures based on it with properties specified in accordance with the conditions of their operation and having technical and economic indicators that exceed those of standard structures – analogues.

Shear failure is a brittle and undesirable mode of failure in reinforced concrete structures. Many of the existing shear design equations for steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams include significant uncertainty due to the failure in accurately predicting the true shear capacity. Given these, adequate quantification and description of model uncertainties considering the systematic variation in the model prediction and measured shear capacity is crucial for reliability-based investigation. Reliability analysis must account for model uncertainties in order to predict the probability of failure under prescribed limit states. This study focuses on the quantification and description of model uncertainty related to the current shear resistance predictive models for SFRC beams without shear reinforcement. The German (DAfStB) model displayed the lowest bias and dispersion, whereas the fib Model 2010 and the Bernat et al., model displayed the highest bias and dispersion. The inconsistencies observed in the resistance model uncertainties at the variation of shear span to effective depth ratio are a major cause for concern, and differentiation with respect to this parameter is advised. Finally, in line with the EN 1990 semi-probabilistic approach for reliability-based design, the global partial safety factors related to model uncertainties in the shear resistance prediction of SFRC beams are proposed.

The paper considers the effects of high temperatures in case of fire on the change in impermeability of steel fiber reinforced concrete having a high-strength cement-sand matrix and various content of fiber of different types, sizes, and strength. It is shown that in the temperature range from 20° to 1100° C in the diagram “Heating temperature - impermeability class», the matrix and steel fiber concrete(SFC) have a S-shaped character, and in case of heating temperature of over 100 °C, there comes a distinct decrease in impermeability.

Scrap steel fiber concrete (SFRC) is a new kind of concrete material, which uses the scrap steel fiber from the scrap tire as the reinforced fiber of FRP bar fiber reinforced concrete, replacing or partially replacing the traditional steel fiber and synthetic fiber. This paper summarizes the research status of waste steel fiber at home and abroad, including the mechanical properties of compressive and tensile resistance, the mixing amount and use requirements of waste steel fiber, and finally the development prospect of waste steel fiber concrete is forecasted

As a kind of important engineering material, steel fiber-reinforced concrete was used widely in civil engineering. Up to now, steel fiber-reinforced concrete was usually produced by the traditional mixing method. For the reason of uniform distribution of fiber, the reinforcement of mechanical properties of concrete was inadequately performed. In this paper, C50 steel fiber-reinforced concrete and C60 steel fiber-reinforced concrete were manufactured by traditional mixing and vibratory mixing methods, respectively, and then, the cube compression test, flexural test, splitting tensile test, and the bending test were carried out. The reinforcement effects of mechanical properties were analyzed by comparing the traditional mixing and vibratory mixing methods. The results show that vibratory mixing can effectively improve the distribution of steel fibers in concrete and can increase the density of steel fiber concrete, and therefore, it effectively improves the mechanical properties of steel fiber-reinforced concrete when compared to the traditional mixing method.
