Experimental Study of the Mechanical Properties Concrete Reinforced with Steel Fibers

Abstract:

Before and after the completion of a project we often encounter unforeseen events that affect the sustainability of the project. We understand that engineers and practitioners need to look for the best average or process in terms of quality and cost, to ensure project maintenance. Among the possible methods; we can quote the concrete reinforced by the metallic fibers between the pavement and asphalt concrete pavement, the latter will ensure the continuity between two materials (flexible-rigid). This work consists of studying the formulation of a metal fiber concrete based on local materials (cement, gravel and sand) and studying the effect of fibers. The results of this study highlighted the improvement of both the mechanical properties of concrete and the problem of cracking between the pavement and pavement concrete joints.
