Reinforcement and Fiber to Induce Ductile Behavior of Ultra High Performance Steel Fiber Concrete

Article Preview

Abstract:

To induce the ductile behavior of ultra high performance concrete beams, the experiments to find out the best composition of volume fraction of steel fiber and ratio of reinforcement bar were carried out. 15 UHPC beams which have various combinations of volume fraction of steel fiber and ratio of reinforcement bar. The reinforcement bars was consist of 2×1, 3×3, 4×4, 5×4. The volume fractions of steel fibers were 0%, 0.7%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%. The beam which has 0% volume fraction with the close placement reinforcement bar has little effect on ductile behavior. At least 0.7% volume fraction with the close placement reinforcement bar guarantees the ductile behavior of UHPC beam.
