Impact Experimental Research on Hybrid Bamboo Fiber and Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete

Abstract:

This paper studied experimentally the impact mechanical properties of bamboo fiber and hybrid steel fiber reinforced concrete. Steel fiber is already used in construction widely, but it is expensive in cost. As a kind of green building material, bamboo fiber can be used in the infrastructures together with concrete to improve the concretes mechanical properties. In order to investigate the impact mechanical properties of concrete reinforced with bamboo fiber and steel fiber, a series of concrete specimens reinforced with bamboo fiber, steel fiber or both steel fiber and bamboo fiber are investigated with self-designed impact device. The impact resistance abilities are tested and compared.
