The Experimental Testing of the Tensile Strength of the Steel Fibre Reinforced Cement Matrix

Abstract:

This article is focused on state of knowledge about experimental testing of uniaxial tension strength of specimens from cement-based composites. We searched for various types of experimental testing of tensile strength, shapes of specimens or type of reinforcement. There is our own experimental program at the end of this article. Our aim is to find the best way to test steel fibre reinforced cement matrix for textile reinforced concrete in oneaxial tension. Textile reinforced concrete has many advantages (e.g.: no covering layer, higher ductility) and may be used instead of common steel reinforced concrete or as a method to repair old structures (e.g.: to bind columns).
