Steel fiber reinforced concrete is a new type of composite material developed rapidly in recent years. It is widely used in various types of engineering construction field with its good crack resistance, flexural toughness and impact resistance. Meanwhile, Steel fiber reinforced concrete has high tensile strength and fracture toughness, fatigue resistance, and forming pouring easy,for variety of complex stress position of the structure. This paper provides something for this new concrete materials in the project of the building structure design and construction, through the introduction of the main performance of steel fiber reinforced concrete.

This paper studied experimentally the impact mechanical properties of bamboo fiber and hybrid steel fiber reinforced concrete. Steel fiber is already used in construction widely, but it is expensive in cost. As a kind of green building material, bamboo fiber can be used in the infrastructures together with concrete to improve the concretes mechanical properties. In order to investigate the impact mechanical properties of concrete reinforced with bamboo fiber and steel fiber, a series of concrete specimens reinforced with bamboo fiber, steel fiber or both steel fiber and bamboo fiber are investigated with self-designed impact device. The impact resistance abilities are tested and compared.

PVA fiber reinforced cement-based composite is a new high-performance cement-based composite material, which usually manufactured with PVA short fibers (does not exceed 2.5% vol.) and cement-based matrix. It has a significant strain-hardening characteristic and excellent crack controlling ability. Its ultimate tensile strain is up to 3% and crack width is not exceed 100μm. PVA fiber reinforced cement-based composite can be utilized to fabricated high energy absorption opponents, such as protective shield, seismic joint, impact-resistant site, etc. In this paper, the basic mechanical properties of PVA fiber reinforced cement-based composite has been tested and verified first. Then the impact resistance of PVA reinforced cement-based composite has been investigated via drop weight impact test, and compared with ones of plain concrete and steel fiber reinforced concrete with the same strength grade. Through analyzing the test results, it is concluded that PVA reinforced cement-based composite’s impact energy absorption is 48 times than plain concrete, and 9 times than steel fiber reinforced concrete respectively. The impact numbers of PVA reinforced cement-based composite is slightly lower than steel fiber reinforced concrete, but its impact absorption energy after initial cracking is 15 times than steel fiber reinforced concrete. In conclusion, PVA reinforced cement-based composite is an excellent impact material.
