Effects of Three Steel Fibers on the Properties of High Strength Concrete

Abstract:

Portland cement, crushed stone, sand and superplasticizer were used to obtain a high strength concrete with a low water to binder ratio. Three steel fibers such as waste steel wire, corrugated steel fiber and arch steel fiber were added into the high strength concrete. The effects of the three fibers on the slump and the strengths such as compressive strength, tensile strength and bending strength were researched. The reduction of the slump and the increasing of the strength of the concrete with the arch steel fiber were the most significant due to the highest length-diameter ratio.
