ABSTRACT This work deals with numerical modeling of the mechanical behavior of steel-fiber-reinforced concrete beams using a constitutive model based on damage mechanics. Initially, the formulation of the damage model is presented. The concrete is assumed to be an initial elastic isotropic medium presenting anisotropy, permanent strains, and bimodularity induced by damage evolution. In order to take into account the contribution of the steel fiber to the mechanical behavior of the media, a homogenization procedure is employed. Finally, numerical analyses of steel-fiber-reinforced concrete beams submitted to bending loading are performed in order to show the good performance of the model and its potential.

This paper is the first part of an extensive work focusing the technological development of steel fiber reinforced concrete pipes (FRCP). Here is presented and discussed the experimental campaign focusing the test procedure and the mechanical behavior obtained for each of the dosages of fiber used. In the second part ("Steel fiber reinforced concrete pipes. Part 2: Numerical model to simulate the crushing test"), the aspects of FRCP numerical modeling are presented and analyzed using the same experimental results in order to be validated. This study was carried out trying to reduce some uncertainties related to FRCP performance and provide a better condition to the use of these components. In this respect, an experimental study was carried out using sewage concrete pipes in full scale as specimens. The diameter of the specimens was 600 mm, and they had a length of 2500 mm. The pipes were reinforced with traditional bars and different contents of steel fibers in order to compare their performance through the crushing test. Two test procedures were used in that sense. In the 1st Series, the diameter displacement was monitored by the use of two LVDTs positioned at both extremities of the pipes. In the 2nd Series, just one LVDT is positioned at the spigot. The results shown a more rigidity response of the pipe during tests when the displacements were measured at the enlarged section of the socket. The fiber reinforcement was very effective, especially when low level of displacement was imposed to the FRCP. At this condition, the steel fibers showed an equivalent performance to superior class pipes made with traditional reinforced. The fiber content of 40 kg/m3 provided a hardening behavior for the FRCP, and could be considered as equivalent to the critical volume in this condition.

Abstract Based on axial pull-out performance tests of anchor and shotcrete support system with three types of plates and two kinds of shotcretes (plain and steel fiber reinforced concrete) conducted by use of the multi-functional testing system. The mechanical behavior of the anchor and shotcrete support system with the different plate and shotcrete such as the pull-out performance of support system, deformation and failure properties of shotcrete was studied and analyzed. Experimental results showed that the relationship curves between elongation and drawing force has three stages, which are elastic, yielding and strengthening. Different plate types have obvious influence on the tensile stiffness during the elastic stage. The steel fiber reinforced concrete spray layer can improve the yield strength of rockbolt under the coupling effect by the support system. The strain at the interface between the initial shotcrete layer and surrounding rock mass is greater than that of the external surface of the resprayed shotcrete layer, though they are equal far away from the rockbolt hole. The shotcrete strain values of steel fiber reinforced concrete is lower than that of plain concrete, and the shotcrete strain values decreases with the improvement of steel fiber content. For shotcrete strain values on the same position, the higher they are the steel fiber content, the lower their strain will be. The failure of plain shotcrete usually begins around of rockbolt hole, when the interfacial stress between the initial shotcrete layer and surround rock is higher than that in the initial shotcrete layer and resprayed shotcrete layer. The steel fiber can effectively improves the toughness, anti-cracking performance and prevent fracture of shotcrete from failure properties.
