Effect of Fiber Volume Fraction on Compressive and Flexural Properties of High-Strength Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to investigate the compressive and flexural properties of high-strength steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC). For this purpose, a total of 5 mixture whose variable is fiber volume fraction, were made and tested in a range of high strength with 70MPa. In case of normal and ultra-high strength, experimental results were collected from existing literatures on the tests conducted in South Korea. Flexural behavior of SFRC is enhanced according to the fiber volume fraction and compressive strength. Experimental and collected data were applied to existing equations, so it was found that the distinctions occurred between experimental or collected data and calculated values. Thus, more efforts are required to predict the flexural behavior of SFRC manufactured in South Korea with respect to the fiber volume fraction.
