Compressive Properties of High Strength Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete with Different Fiber Volume Fractions

Abstract:

This paper describes the experimental results of 70 MPa high strength steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) with different steel fiber volume fractions in compression. The effect of steel fiber on fresh properties, compressive strength, toughness index, cracking procedure of high strength steel fiber concrete is also investigated. The steel fibers were added as the volume fractions of 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.0%. The cylindrical specimens with Φ100 x 200 for compressive tests were manufactured in accordance with ASTM C 39[. The experimental results showed that the slump of fresh SFRC was inversely proportional to the fiber volume fraction added to high strength concrete. As the addition of steel fiber increased, compressive strength of SFRC decreased. Inclusion of steel fiber improves compressive toughness of high strength SFRC.
