In this study, the effect of curing conditions on the mechanical properties of slurry infiltrated fiber reinforced concrete (SIFCON) was investigated. For this purpose, SIFCON samples containing 4% and 8% steel fiber with two different aspect ratios were produced. The samples were subjected to three different curing types, namely standard, dry and accelerated curing methods. Ultrasonic wave velocity, flexural strength, fracture toughness, compressive strength, impact resistance and capillary water absorption tests were performed on the samples. The highest flexural strength was found to be achieved in the samples with an aspect ratio of 55 and a content of 8% steel fiber. The most suitable curing method was determined as the standard curing method and the best flexural strength was achieved at the rate of 8%. According to the test results, the best strength properties were achieved in the samples exposed to the standard curing method. In addition, the samples exposed to the accelerated curing method showed satisfactory values. The accelerated curing method can be used as an alternative in SIFCON production especially in applications requiring mass production.

Fresh State

High-strength concrete is used to provide quality control for concrete structures, yet it has the drawback of brittleness. The inclusion of fibers improves the ductility of concrete but negatively affects the fresh properties of fiber-reinforced concrete. The effects of different fine to coarse aggregate ratios on the fresh and hardened properties of steel fiber reinforced concrete were investigated in this study. Mixtures were prepared with various fine to coarse aggregate (FA/CA) ratios incorporating 1% steel fiber content (by volume) at constant water to cement ratio. The workability, unit weight, and temperature of the concrete in the fresh state, and the mechanical properties of steel-fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) were investigated. The inclusion of fiber in concrete influenced the mobility of concrete in the fresh state by acting as a barrier to the movement of coarse aggregate. It was observed that the concrete with an FA/CA ratio above 0.8 showed better flowability in the fresh state, whilst an above 0.9 FA/CA ratio requires excessive superplasticizer to maintain the flowability of the mixtures. The compressive and flexural strength of SFRC increased with an increase in the FA/CA ratio by around 10% and 28%, respectively. Experimental values of compressive strength and flexural strength showed good agreement, however, modulus of elasticity demonstrated slightly higher values. The experimentally obtained measurements of the mechanical properties of SFRC conformed reasonably well with the available existing prediction equations, and further enabled establishing predictive isoresponse interactive equations within the scope of the investigation domain.

We investigated the mechanical behavior of freshwater mollusk shells, Pomacea dolioides, collected from a floodplain area located in Amazonas, Brazil. With the purpose of characterizing the mechanical properties of the shells, bending, hardness and roughness tests were carried out. To determine the shell flexural strength, a new methodology was proposed for the calculation of it, considering the curved geometry of the specimens taken from the shells. It was also described the mechanical properties as a function of shell position and thickness, variation of the surface hardness along the shell and the low level of superficial irregularity in the inner layer of the shells. Shell presented a mean flexural rupture modulus (MOR) of 128.0 MPa, Rockwell HR15N hardness = 50 ± 8.3 and a low level of irregularities in the inner layer, roughness Ra = 0.160 μm.

This study presents experimentally the combined effect of using Nano-silica (NS) and steel fibers (SF) on the mechanical properties of hardened concrete. NS is used as partial cement replacement by different percentages, and SF is used as volume substitution by different percentages. Splitting tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, and flexural strength are evaluated using different combinations between NS and SF. Significant improvement in the mechanical properties of concrete is observed on using NS due to its high pozzolanic activity. The Optimum content of SF is improved splitting tensile strength with different percentages respectively compared to without either NS or SF. Utilizing NS with SF leads to improving modulus of elasticity compared to without either NS or SF. Flexural strength is doubled for using NS and SF compared to without NS and SF.

This paper investigates the mechanical properties of light mortars containing coal waste of Jerada mine, as a volume replacement for sand, with different percentages of substitution: 10%, 20% and 50%. The results revealed a decrease in the mechanical properties of composite mortars, including uniaxial compression and flexural strength as well as rigidity modulus. However, the heat treatment improves their ductility, and delays the propagation of cracks. Thus, the developed material is interesting for use in construction, serving as a basis for manufacturing prefabricated blocks treated at 600°C. These elements can be used for applications with large deformations, or with mechanical or acoustic vibrations.

Carbon nanofibers/tubes (CNF/Ts) are very strong and stiff and as a result, are expected to be capable of enhancing the mechanical properties of cementitious materials significantly. Yet there are practical issues concerning the utilization of CNF/Ts in cementitious materials. This study summarizes some of the past efforts made by different investigators for utilizing carbon nanofilaments in cementitious materials and also reports recent experimental research performed by the authors on the mechanical properties of CNF-reinforced hardened cement paste. The major difficulties concerning the utilization of CNF/Ts in cementitious materials are introduced and discussed. Most of these difficulties are related to the poor dispersibility of CNF/Ts. However, the findings from the research presented in this work indicate that, despite these difficulties, carbon nanofilaments can significantly improve the mechanical properties of cementitious materials. The results show that CNFs, even when poorly dispersed within the cementitious matrix, can remarkably increase the flexural strength and cracking resistance of concrete subjected to drying conditions.

Based on experiments of uniaxial compression and flexural experiments, the basic mechanical properties (compressive strength and flexural strength) of reactive powder concrete (RPC) were investigated, the effect of the steel fiber content on mechanical properties of RPC was studied in this work. The resu1ts indicate that the axial compressive strength of RPC had no obvious change with the change of steel fiber content. When the steel fiber content varied from 1.0% to 2.0%, the flexural strength of RPC had no obvious change.When the steel fiber content varied from 2.0% to 5.0%, the flexural strength of RPC increased dramaticlly with the increase of steel fibers content. According to experiment curves, an equation for the compressive stress-strain curve of RPC was deduced with different stee1 fiber content.

A large number of experiments have been carried out in this study to reveal the effect of the steel fiber dosage on the mechanical properties of HPC (high performance concrete). The mechanical property includes compressive strength, elastic modulus and flexural strength. The results indicate that the addition of steel fiber increase the compressive strength, elastic modulus and flexural strength of HPC. When the steel fiber dosage is less than 2%, these mechanical property parameters are increasing gradually with the increase of steel fiber dosage, while these parameters begin to decrease when the steel fiber dosage is more than 2%. With the development of HPC, the application of steel fibers in HPC becomes more and more popular. In the actual construction of steel fiber reinforced HPC, the dosage of steel fiber should be controlled strictly in order to ensure that the steel fibers can perform their best improvement on high performance concrete.

An experimental program is carried out to evaluate the mix design and mechanical properties of normal strength concrete (NSC) grade 40 MPa and high-strength concrete grade 60 and 80 MPa. The study investigates using silica fume to produce high-strength concrete grade 80 MPa and highlights the influence of adding steel fiber on the mechanical properties of normal and high-strength concrete. For NSC, the compressive strength is found at 7 and 28 days. While for higher strength concrete, the compressive strength is determined at 7, 28, and 56 days. The splitting tensile strength and flexural strength is determined at 28 days. Based on results, the specimens with 14% silica fume are higher compressive strength than the specimens with 10% silica fume by 21.8%. The presence of steel fiber increased the compressive strength of normal and high-strength concrete at 7, 28, and 56 days curing ages with different percentage and the steel fiber has an important role in increasing the splitting tensile strength and flexural strength of normal and high-strength concrete.
