The purpose of this paper was concerned of the behavior of six samples of deep beams under the influence of pure torsion. Such samples were self-compacting concrete (SCC) and two ratios of Steel Fibers (SF (were also added (0.75 % and 1.5 %). This study examined the behavior of the samples when pure torsion was applied and reacted to angles of torsion, longitudinal strains and concrete strains. It was obvious from the results of the test that the addition of steel fiber to the SCC mixture increased the strength of the compression and tensile strength, which increased the hardness of the samples, thereby decreasing the response of the samples to the angle of twisting, longitudinal strains of concrete and concrete strains.

This research is a comparative study, the use of carbon fiber and steel fiber for Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC). In previous studies, it was proven that the addition of steel fibers can increase the compressive and tensile strength of SCC. While carbon fiber is one of the most widely used materials for structural reinforcement in recent years. Therefore it is necessary to do a comparative study of the use of carbon fiber if applied to SCC. The percentage increase in carbon fiber and steel is 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5%. Then do the testing of: slump test, compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural strength. The results showed the optimal percentage of steel fiber addition of 1.5%, can increase the compressive strength of SCC by 11%. However carbon fiber and steel do not increase the tensile strength of SCC, and tend to reduce flexural strength. Other results show that carbon fiber is not suitable for use in SCC.

Durability Properties

In this present study the durability characteristics of Steel fiber reinforced Self compacting concrete (SFRSCC) is determined for M30 and M40 grade concrete mixes. Along with durability strength and sorptivity is carried out and comparison is made with Plane self-compacting concrete (SCC) by chemical resistances, Initial Surface Absorption Test (ISAT). In the present study, the rational mix design procedure for self-compacting concrete is used. SCC mixes contains large quantity of powder (material whose parcel size is 0.125 mm) to maintain the plastic yield of the properties of fresh concrete as per the general guidelines for design of SCC mixes given in the EFNARC (2005). The present project consists of two phases. In the first phase, SCC mixes for different grades are developed without steel fibers and with steel fibers. The mechanical properties like compressive strength of the different grades were studied. In the second phase, based on the experimental results, durability properties were studied with the using of specimens of size 100 mm × 100 mm × 100 mm. Durability studies like Acid attack factors, Acid-Durability factors, Sulphate attack factors, Sorptivity are studied for the Plain SCC and steel Fiber Reinforced SCC and a comparison is made.

The behaviors of the fresh and mechanical properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC) are different from those of normal concrete mix. Previous research has investigated the benefits of this concrete mix by incorporating different constituent materials. The current research aims to develop a steel fiber reinforcement (SFR)‒SCC mixture and to study the effectiveness of different cement replacement materials (CRMs) on the fresh and mechanical properties of the SFR‒SCC mixtures. CRMs have been used to replace cement content, and the use of different water/cement ratios may lower the cost of CRMs, which include microwave-incinerated rice husk ash, silica fume, and fly ash. Fresh behavior, such as flow and filling ability and capacity segregation, was examined by a special test in SCC on the basis of their specifications. Moreover, compressive and splitting tensile strength tests were determined to simulate the hardened behavior for the concrete specimens. Experimental findings showed that, the V-funnel and L-box were within the accepted range for SCC. Tensile and flexural strength increases upon the use of 10% silica fume were found when compared with other groups; the ideal percentage of steel fiber that should be combined in this hybrid was 2% of the total weight of the binder. Overall, steel fibers generated a heightened compressive and splitting tensile strength in the self-compacting concrete mixes.

Proportion Method

Test of basic properties of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) was carried out to further study the validity of the binary superposition mix proportion method. The strength grades of SFRC were CF40, CF50 and CF60. The key parameters of the study were the fraction of steel fiber by volume, the thickness of cement paste wrapping steel fibers and the water to cement ratio. The workability of fresh SFRC was measured firstly to satisfy the construction requirement. The compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural-tensile strength of SFRC were tested simultaneously. Based on the test data, the changes of above basic properties of SFRC are analyzed in view of the effects of the fraction of steel fiber by volume and the thickness of cement paste wrapping steel fibers. It shows that the optimum thickness of cement past wrapping steel fibers is 0.8mm. The influencing coefficients in formulas for calculating tensile strength and flexural-tensile strength of SFRC specified in the current technical specification are given out.

The Impact

This research investigates the simultaneous impact of two different types of steel fibers, nanometakaolin, and nanosilica on the mechanical properties of geopolymer concrete (GPC) mixes. To achieve this aim, different geopolymer concrete mixes were prepared. Firstly, with and without nanomaterials (nanosilica and nanometakaolin) of 0, 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8% from ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) were used. Secondly, steel fiber (hooked end and crimped) content of (0, 0.5%, 1, and 1.5%) was used. Thirdly, optimum values of nanomaterials with the optimum values of steel fiber were used. Crimped and hooked-end steel fibers were utilized with an aspect ratio of 60 and a length of 30 mm. Geopolymer mixes were manufactured by using a constant percentage of alkaline activator to binder proportion equal to 0.45 with GGBFS cured at ambient conditions. For alkaline activator, sodium hydroxide molar (NaOH) and sodium hydroxide solution (NaOH) were used according to a proportion (Na2SiO3/NaOH) of 2.33. The hardened concrete tests were performed through the usage of splitting tensile strength, flexural, and compressive experiments to determine the impact of steel fibers, nanometakaolin, and nanosilica individually and combined on performance of GPC specimens. The results illustrated that using a mix composed of the optimum steel fibers (1% content) accompanied by an optimum percentage of 6% nanometakaolin or 4% nanosilica demonstrated a significant enhancement in the mechanical properties of GPC specimens compared to all other mixtures. Besides, the impact of using nanomaterials individually was found to be predominant on compressive strength on GPC specimens especially with the usage of the optimum values. However, using nanomaterials individually compared to using the steel fibers individually was found to have approximately the same splitting tensile strength and flexural performance.

This paper investigates the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of ultra high strength concrete containing steel fiber. The steel fibers were added at the volume fractions of 0%, 0.5%, 0.75%, 1.0% and 1.5%. The compressive strength of the steel fiber reinforced ultra high strength concrete (SFRC) reached a maximum at 0.75% volume fraction, being a 15.5% improvement over the UHSC. The splitting tensile strength of the SFRC improved with increasing the volume fraction, achieving 91.9% improvements at 1.5% volume fraction. Strength models were established to predict the compressive and splitting tensile strengths of the SFRC. The models give predictions matching the measurements. Conclusions can be drawn that the marked brittleness with low tensile strength and strain capacities of ultra high strength concrete (UHSC) can be overcome by the addition of steel fibers.

Bond Characteristics

AbstractSteel fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete (SFRSCC) is a relatively new composite material which congregates the benefits of the self-compacting concrete (SCC) technology with the profits derived from the fiber addition to a brittle cementitious matrix. Steel fibers improve many of the properties of SCC elements including tensile strength, ductility, toughness, energy absorption capacity, fracture toughness and cracking. Although the available research regarding the influence of steel fibers on the properties of SFRSCC is limited, this paper investigates the bond characteristics between steel fiber and SCC firstly. Based on the available experimental results, the current analytical steel fiber pullout model (Dubey 1999) is modified by considering the different SCC properties and different fiber types (smooth, hooked) and inclination. In order to take into account the effect of fiber inclination in the pullout model, apparent shear strengths (τ (app)) and slip coefficient (β) are incorporated to express the variation of pullout peak load and the augmentation of peak slip as the inclined angle increases. These variables are expressed as functions of the inclined angle (ϕ). Furthurmore, steel-concrete composite floors, reinforced concrete floors supported by columns or walls and floors on an elastic foundations belong to the category of structural elements in which the conventional steel reinforcement can be partially replaced by the use of steel fibers. When discussing deformation capacity of structural elements or civil engineering structures manufactured using SFRSCC, one must be able to describe thoroughly both the behavior of the concrete matrix reinforced with steel fibers and the interaction between this composite matrix and discrete steel reinforcement of the conventional type. However, even though the knowledge on bond behavior is essential for evaluating the overall behavior of structural components containing reinforcement and steel fibers, information is hardly available in this area. In this study, bond characteristics of deformed reinforcing steel bars embedded in SFRSCC is investigated secondly.

New Generation

Self-compacting concrete is one that is flow able by its own. The SCC is suitable for placing in dense reinforcement structures. It is a new generation performance concrete known for its outstanding deformity and high resistance to bleeding. The concrete is frail material which is comparatively tough in compression but fragile in tension. The tensile strength of concrete is improved by addition of fibers in the concrete mix. The addition of such fibers has negative consequence on the workability of concrete. Various types of fibers are used in concrete to provide the higher flexural strength and better tensile strength. In this research steel fibers are used to provide a better strength as compared with normal reinforced concrete. Steel fiber in SCC significantly improves its flexural strength, improved tensile properties, reduce cracking and improve durability. In this research the investigation of steel fiber in SCC to enhance the strength properties of SCC. The objective of the study was to determine different properties of SCC with steel fiber at different proportions. The experimental investigation was took on the freshly mixed and hardened properties of SCC of various mix with the different variations of fiber 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75% and 1% by using Viscosity Modified Agent (VMA) 1.5% of cement material by using M25 grade of concrete. In this research a series of tests were carried out for workability like slump cone test, U funnel, V funnel, L box test on SCC to check freshly mix properties like flow-ability, filling-ability, and passing-ability and hardened properties like compressive strength, split-tensile strength and flexural strength respectively and test were conducted at the age of 7Days, 14Days, 28Days on the SCC. The advantage of adding steel fiber in self-compacting concrete is that it enhances its overall strength.

Steel fiber reinforced concretes are currently very popular, especially in the construction of industrial floors of warehouses and other halls with relatively large floor areas. However, it is important to mention that despite the rapid development of steel fiber reinforced concretes, the standards and regulations for their designing and testing have not been unified yet. This paper presents findings about the physicomechanical parameters of the steel fiber reinforced concretes manufactured by adding steel fibers into the truck mixer on the building site. The experimentally obtained results from the performed tests of tensile strength in bending according to various procedures are compared, and the suitability of the methods used is assessed according to these procedures.
