Experimental Study on Impact Resistance of Concrete Containing Steel Fibers

Abstract:

This study is an experimental study aims to examine the effect of utilization of straight, and low cost steel fibers on the impact resistance of concrete. The impact resistance of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) was assessed using drop weight test as per ACI committee 544. The steel fibers were randomly dispersed in concrete during mixing. Five mixes made with steel fibers dosages of 0% (control mix), 0.5%, 1%, 1.25% and 1.5% by volume of concrete were examined in the study. The results show that mixes containing steel fibers show better impact resistance than plain concrete (control Mix). The results also indicate that increasing the dosage of fiber increases the impact resistance of concrete but up to a certain content of fibers. The maximum increase was recorded at steel fiber dosage of 1.25% by volume of concrete. Also the patterns of failure of the concrete specimens show that fibers are very effective in increasing the concrete toughness which enhance the ductility of concrete and delays the crack initiation.
