Through the corrosion-damaged experiment of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) in simulation domestic sewage, the corrosion resistance of SFRC placed in domestic sewage were investigated. The results show that high concentration domestic sewage would cause the properties of SFRC to deteriorate, and the corrosion coefficients of compressive and flexural strength of SFRC decrease gradually with the increase of corroding age. The steel fiber can not inhibit obviously the degradation of concrete compressive and flexural strength unless the steel fiber volume fraction is more than 1.0%. The size effect on compressive and flexural strength of SFRC after corroding in domestic sewage is existent.

In this paper, the performances of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in shear with steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) panels are investigated through experiment, analytical computation, and numerical analysis. An experimental program of RC beams strengthened by using SFRC panels, which were attached to both sides of the beams, is carried out to investigate the effects of fiber volume fraction, connection type, and number and diameter of bolts on the structural responses of the retrofitted beams. The current shear resisting model is also employed to discuss the test data considering shear contribution of SFRC panels. The experimental results indicate that the shear effectiveness of the beams strengthened by using SFRC panels is significantly improved. A three-dimensional (3D) nonlinear finite element (FE) analysis adopting ABAQUS is also conducted to simulate the beams strengthened in shear with SFRC panels. The investigation reveals the good agreement between the experimental and analytical results in terms of the mechanical behaviors. To complement the analytical study, a parametric study is performed to further evaluate the influences of panel thickness, compressive strength of SFRC, and bolt pattern on the performances of the beams. Based on the numerical and experimental analysis, a shear resisting model incorporating the simple formulation of average tensile strength perpendicular to the diagonal crack of the strengthened SFRC panels is proposed with the acceptable accuracy for predicting the shear contribution of the SFRC system under various effects.

Shrinkage experiments were done to determine the influence of the volume fraction of steel fiber-reinforcement on the bonding behavior between new concrete and old concrete. The mechanics of the model of restricted shrinkage upon the adherence of new steel fiber reinforced concrete to old concrete are described. The results demonstrate that the difference of shrinkage between the new and the old concrete can been reduced by adding steel fiber to the new concrete. The decrease of shrinkage difference reduces the shrinkage force at the adhesive interface, which improves the adhesion of new concrete to old concrete and the magnitude of the decrease of shrinkage difference is correlated to the steel fiber volume fraction.

Steel is one of the fibers used in fiber reinforced concrete technology. Steel fibers in concrete help to improve flexural  strength and  crack  resistance. Today,  there  are  critical  shortages of  natural  resources. In  this  research,  waste concrete is being used to produce recycled aggregate. The Recycled Coarse Aggregate (RCA) is partially replaced with the natural coarse aggregate (NCA) in concrete to analyze the mechanical properties of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC). Several tests were conducted, such as compression and flexural tests. Five batches (A, B, C, D and E) of concrete cube and prism samples with different proportions of RCA (0%, 25%, 50%, 75% & 100%) and 1.5% volume fraction of steel fiber were tested, together with one control sample which used 100% NCA and 0% volume fraction of steel fiber. As a result, the control sample achieved 27.32 MPa in compression strength and 0.90 MPa for flexural strength while batch A managed to achieve 48.60 MPa and 1.10  MPa respectively. The cube and prism samples of all batches (A, B, C, D, E) showed decreasing compressive and flexural strength with increasing proportion of RCA in the concrete. Four samples fully achieved more than 20 MPa of compression strength and optimum flexural strength.

Based on the fast freeze-thaw test in 3.5% NaCl solution, the frost resistance of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) was studied in this paper. On the basis of scanning electron microscope (SEM) and mercury intrusion method, the microstructure and pore structure of SFRC was analysed. The reinforced mechanism of SFRC under the cooperation of freeze-thaw and NaCl solution was discussed. The test results show that adding appropriate amount of steel fibers into concrete can reduce the pore porosity and improve the compactness of concrete. The effects of steel fiber with proper volume fraction can inhibit the peeling of the concrete and reduce its damage rate. The volume of steel fiber on the frost-resisting property of SFRC is obvious.

Based on the mechanical properties experiment of the glass fiber reinforced concrete with 0%0.6%0.8% and 1% glass fiber volume fraction, the mechanics property such as tensile strength, compressive strength, flexural strength and flexural elasticity modulus are analyzed and compared with the plain concrete when the kinds of fiber content changes. The research results show that the effect of tensile strength and flexural strength can be improved to some extent, which also can serve as a reference or basis for further improvement and development the theory and application of the glass fiber reinforced concrete.
