Experimental Study on Mechanical Performance of Bamboo Fiber Reinforced Concrete

Abstract:

A series of experiments are carried out to investigate the mechanical performance of bamboo fiber reinforced concrete, including the cubic compressive strength and splitting tensile strength. The experimental results show that bamboo fibers can enhance the cubic compressive strength and remarkably improve the splitting tensile strength of concrete. In addition, the effects of various bamboo fiber content and length on cubic compressive strength and splitting strength are also discussed respectively.
