Fibre Cocktail to Improve Fire Resistance

Article Preview

Abstract:

Favourable experience with fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) resulted in its increasing use worldwide. The properties of fibre reinforced concrete are mostly influenced by the type and the amount of fibres. Our experimental study was directed to the possible improvements of the residual flexural strength and the properties of concrete exposed to high temperatures with different fibre cocktails including steel, micro polymer or cellulose fibres. The influence of type and amount of fibres on residual flexural strength in cold state were tested after 300, 500 or 800 °C temperature loading.
