Fracture Parameters

The behavior of steel fiber concrete, which is the most widely used building material, has been widely examined. However, methods for calculating Fracture parameters differ by fracture behavior of SFHSC with different strengths. In this study, the fracture behavior of steel-fiber-reinforced high-strength concrete (SFHSC) was -investigated using three-point bending tests. A total of 144 notched concrete beams with a size of 100 mm × 100 mm × 515 mm were tested for three-point bending in 26 groups. The effects of the steel fiber volume ratio, steel fiber type, and relative notch depth on the fracture toughness (KIC) and fracture energy (GF) of SFHSC specimens were studied. The results show that an increase in the volume fraction of steel fiber (ρf) added to high-strength concrete (HSC) significantly improves the fracture behavior of HSC. As compared to milled and sheared corrugated steel fibers, cut bow steel fibers significantly improve the fracture behavior of SFHSC. The effect of incision depth changes on the KIC and GF of SFHSC and HSC for the comparison group has no common characteristics. With an increase in incision depth, the values of KIC of the SFHSC specimens decrease slightly. The GF0.5/GF0.4 of the SFHSC specimens show a decreasing trend with an increase in ρf. According to the test results, we propose calculation models for the fracture behavior of SFHSC with different strengths. Thus, we present a convenient and accurate method to calculate fracture parameters, which lays a foundation for subsequent research.

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.

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.

Through the three-point bending test on the specimens of steel fiber reinforced high strength concrete (SFHSC) and plain high strength concrete (HSC) with the size of 100 mm×100 mm×515 mm, the effects of influencing factors including the fiber volume fraction (ρf) and relative notch depth (a/W) upon the fracture energy and the work of applied force (gravity and external force) were studied. The results show that the effect of ρf upon the fracture energy is more obvious; the variation tendencies for the increment ratio of the fracture energy and that of the work of applied force are different under different factors; the fracture energy is dependent on the work of external force. Based on the test results, the formula was established for calculating the fracture energy.

Pile Caps

Based on the experiments of 10 model specimens of fiber reinforced high strength concrete three-pile caps with the dimension of 831mm×831mm×831mm, the mechanical behavior and the important factors on the cracking load and ultimate bearing capacity of fiber reinforced high strength concrete three-pile caps were researched. The study indicates that with increasing of concrete strength, the volume fraction of steel fiber, the effective thickness and reinforcement ratio of pile cap, the bearing capacity of three-pile caps improves largely. At the same time the type of steel fiber and steel ratio have remarkable effects on the bearing capacity. The results are valuable for establishing bearing capacity calculation formulas of fiber reinforced high strength concrete three-pile caps and improving “the Technical Specification for fiber Reinforced Concrete Structure.”
