Improvement of Impact Resistance of Synthetic Macro-Fiber Reinfored Concrete

Article Preview

Abstract:

The incorporation of a small amount of steel fibers or fine polypropylene fibers in concrete can increase its impact resistance. But steel fiber has the problems of corrosion, high cost and high mess. The effect of fine polypropylene fibers in inhibiting the impact crack is not effective. The research was taken to measure the properties of fresh concrete mixture of Synthetic Macro-fiber reinforced concrete. And investigated the influence of fiber length and volume fraction on the impact resistance of Synthetic Macro-fiber reinforced concrete. The results showed that these fibers could obviously improve the impact resistance of concrete. There was a best Synthetic Macro-fiber volume fraction. The length of the Synthetic Macro-fiber had a certain influence on the impact resistance of concrete.
