The paper deals with the distribution of steel fibres in the mineral composite of fine aggregate. The authors have proposed the distribution of steel fibres in a composite space model based on statistical grounds. The model provides for the randomness of fibre distribution in composite space in accordance with the adopted probability distribution. The developed model has been experimentally verified. The results concerning the distribution of steel fibres in mineral com- posite have been obtained from the statistical model and compared with those of the model frequently applied by other au- thors on the basis of geometric grounds. Good compatibility of steel fibre distribution for a description of both models has been ascertained. As the amount of fibres influences the strength of composite tensile, the relationship between the above introduced feature and the quantity of fibres in the cross-section located nearby tensile failure surface has been developed with reference to the experimental tests. Santrauka Straipsnyje analizuojamas plieninių fibrų pasiskirstymas kompozite su mineraliniais užpildais. Autoriai pasiūlė plieninių fibrų pasiskirstymo kompozite modelį, grįstą statistine analize. Fibrų pasiskirstymas matricoje nagrinėjamas kaip atsitiktinis dydis, pasiskirstęs pagal tikimybinį skirstinį. Modelis yra eksperimentiškai patikrintas: plieninių fibrų pasiskirstymas kompozito matricoje pagal siūlomą statistinį modelį buvo palygintas su kitų autorių tyrimų rezultatais, taikant modelius, grįstus geometriniais pagrindais. Gauti rezultatai sutampa gerai. Kadangi plieninių fibrų kiekis turi įtakos kompozito tempiamajam stipriui, pateikta eksperimentiniais tyrimais pagrįsta priklausomybė tarp fibrų kiekio ir kompozito tempiamojo stiprio.

Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) is a fine-gained composite material achieving both high compressive and tensile strengths. Values of compressive strength, tensile strength and bending strength depend not only on a composition of the mixture itself, but also on the border conditions of the setting of the test, it means the support type, the loading rate etc. UHPFRC is used not only in European countries (Germany, France, Holland), but in distant countries (USA, Japan, Australia), too. In the Czech Republic is UHPFRC produced mainly in laboratories. The first using of UHPFRC for the real construction in the Czech Republic was a production of lost shuttering slabs that were used at the reconstruction of the raod-bridge across R10 highway. These results of the lost shuttering slabs became the base of a more detailed research of the homogeneity of the steel fibre distribution and its impact on load bearing capacity of the UHPFRC elements. Experimental beams with a different volume fraction of steel fibres were made and tested on the basis of the determined results of a nonhomogeneous fibre distribution at the cross section of lost shuttering slabs. Then the layered beams with a controlled steel fibre distribution at the cross section were made and tested too. The test results together with a description and characterization of the behaviour of tested homogeneous beams with different volume fraction of the steel fibres and functionally layered beams are published in this paper.

An investigation of concrete specimen’s strength and its changing mechanism based on numerical simulation of the failure process of axis-stressed concrete specimens with different aspect ratios was described. The state of internal stress and growth of crack of axis-stressed concrete specimens, as well as the changing mechanism of specimen strength under different ambient pressure values, were investigated. The results revealed that specimen strength and failure surface decreased as the aspect ratio is increased. The specimen strength is dependent on the state of internal stress and decreased with decreasing ambient pressure. Additionally, the failure mode shifted from shear failure to tensile failure gradually.

Analogue material with appropriate properties is of great importance to the reliability of geomechanical model test, which is one of the mostly used approaches in field of geotechnical research. In this paper, a new type of analogue material is developed, which is composed of coarse aggregate (quartz sand and/or barite sand), fine aggregate (barite powder), and cementitious material (anhydrous sodium silicate). The components of each raw material are the key influencing factors, which significantly affect the physical and mechanical parameters of analogue materials. In order to establish the relationship between parameters and factors, the material properties including density, Young’s modulus, uniaxial compressive strength, and tensile strength were investigated by a series of orthogonal experiments with hundreds of samples. By orthogonal regression analysis, the regression equations of each parameter were obtained based on experimental data, which can predict the properties of the developed analogue materials according to proportions. The experiments and applications indicate that sodium metasilicate cemented analogue material is a type of low-strength and low-modulus material with designable density, which is insensitive to humidity and temperature and satisfies mechanical scaling criteria for weak rock or soft geological materials. Moreover, the developed material can be easily cast into structures with complex geometry shapes and simulate the deformation and failure processes of prototype rocks.
