The fibers alignment in steel fiber reinforced high strength concrete (SFR-HSC) has naturally significant influence on the mechanical properties of concrete. Fiber-reinforced concrete being manufactured by means various kinds of specimen shape and diversified filling methods and directions, these variables are likely to produce effect on the fibers alignment leading to large differences in its mechanical properties. This study intended to evaluate the effect of placing and flow direction not only on the fibers alignment but also on the tensile behavior of SFR-HSC. Section analysis using photographic shooting was adopted to investigate the fiber alignment and revealed considerable difference in the fiber alignment according to the placing and flow direction. The best alignment appears to be achieved when placing is done in the direction of the flexural tensile stress and the alignment was change with the flow distance although the same flow direction. Such placing and flow direction produce little difference in the first cracking strength but significant discrepancy up to 50% in the ultimate tensile strength.

: This paper investigates the effects of the tensile strength of steel fiber on the mechanical properties of steel fiber-reinforced high-strength concrete. Two levels of steel fiber tensile strength (1100 MPa and 1600 MPa) and two steel fiber contents (0.38% and 0.75%) were used to test the compression, flexure, and direct shear performance of steel fiber-reinforced high-strength concrete specimens. The aspect ratio for the steel fiber was fixed at 80 and the design compressive strength of neat concrete was set at 70 MPa to match that of high-strength concrete. The performance of the steel fiber-reinforced concrete that contained high-strength steel fiber was superior to that which contained normal-strength steel fiber. In terms of flexural performance in particular, the tensile strength of steel fiber can better indicate performance than the steel fiber mixing ratio. In addition, a compression prediction model is proposed to evaluate compression toughness, and the model results are compared. The predictive model can anticipate the behavior after the maximum load.

Micro Level

The high strength concrete exhibits improved compressive strength with drawback of brittle failure due to lack of tensile strength which can be catered by the addition of fibers. The efficient use of fibers with hybridization at macro and micro level can improve mechanical properties of high strength concrete. The effect of hybridization of hooked end steel macro fibers (60 mm) and PVA micro fibers (12 mm) with different dosages was investigated in this research work. The different percentage of steel and PVA were hybridized to find out the best combination of hybridized fibers in high strength concrete. The compressive and flexural properties of high strength concrete along with complete load vs deflection behaviour of hybrid fiber reinforced concrete were investigated. The results revealed that hybridization of macro and micro fibers provided better improvement in flexural performance. It was observed from the results that the hybrid combination of fibers of 1% macro steel fiber and 0.15% micro PVA fibers proved to be the best for enhancement in flexural performance of high strength concrete.

The Matrix

The compression tests were carried out to investigate the compression behavior of steel fiber reinforced ultra high strength concrete(SFRUHSC). Cubic and axial compression specimens were tested at room tempreture, in terms of load control. The result shouwed that the compression strength of 150×150×150mm3and 100×100×100mm3 cubic specimens is 108.4MPa and 94.7MPa, while the 100×100×300mm3 axial specimens’ is 73.4MPa. The above data demonstrated that the different size effect from that of strength of steel fiber reinforced concrete(SFRC), namely the strength of 100×100×100mm is larger than that of 150×150×150mm3. Two kinds of compression specimens showed various fracture mode: ductile tension fracture of cubic specimens and the brittle shearing fracture of axial ones. But the steel fibers inside the specimens had been pulled out from the matrix.

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.”

Stub Columns

The paper presents an experimental study on the behavior of axial loaded concrete-filled steel square-tube stub columns with high strength fiber reinforced concrete until failure. Four specimens were tested to investigate the effect of high strength concrete on the load carrying capacity of the concrete-filled steel square-tube stub columns. The effect of the presence of steel fiber in high strength concrete which filled in the steel tube was also investigated. The main parameters in the tests were: (1) the strength of concrete (30 Mpa and 100 Mpa), and (2) the use of reinforcing steel fiber in concrete (plain high strength concrete and steel fiber high strength concrete). The main purpose of these tests were three-step: (1) to describe a series of tests on composite stub columns, (2) to analyze the influence of several parameters, and (3) to compare the accuracy of the predictions by using the specifications in the code (ACI and EC4 etc.) for the design of high-strength composite columns. Experimental results indicate that the high strength of concrete and use of steel-fiber in concrete had significant influence on both the axial compressive load capacity and the ductile of the steel square-tube stub columns.

Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete

The mechanical properties of hybrid nylon-steel-fiber-reinforced concrete were investigated in comparison to that of the steel-fiber-reinforced concrete, at the same volume fraction (0.5%). The combining of fibers, often called hybridization is investigated in this paper for a very high strength concrete of an average compressive strength of 105 MPa. Test results showed that fibers when used in a hybrid nylon-steel fibers reinforced concrete form could result in superior composite performance compared to steel-fiber-reinforced concrete. The basic property of the hybridized material that was evaluated and analyzed extensively was the modulus of rupture (MOR) and splitting tensile while the compressive strength was only slightly decreased compared to single steel fiber reinforced concrete. There is a synergy effect in the hybrid fibers system.
