In this research, flexural performance was evaluated using macro-synthetic fiber-reinforced concrete (MFRC) in structural deck plates. Material tests were performed to evaluate the mechanical properties of the MFRC, and the flexural strength evaluation was conducted in two experiments, positive and negative moment tests. In the material test results, compressive strength and modulus of elasticity of the MFRC were increased compared with normal concrete. Flexural tensile tests showed that, after achieving maximum strength, the deck plates had sufficient residual strength until fracture. Structural tests showed that flexural strength and cracking load of all specimens increased according to macro synthetic fiber dosage. According to the experimental results, we proposed a flexural strength model of a steel deck plate containing macro synthetic fiber. The model showed greater accuracy than the current standard compared with the experimental results. In addition, since it was confirmed that the MFRC steel decks had greater flexural stiffness until yielding, it will be necessary to quantitatively evaluate the effect of MFRC on the effective flexural stiffness of steel decking in future studies.

Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced Concrete

Polypropylene-fiber-reinforced concrete impacts the early shrinkage during the plastic stage of concrete, and the fiber volume content influences the durability-related properties of concrete. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the influence of fiber volume content on the mechanical properties, durability, and chloride ion penetration of polypropylene-fiber-reinforced concrete in a chloride environment. Tests were carried out on cubes and cylinders of polypropylene-fiber-reinforced concrete with polypropylene fiber contents ranging from 0% to 0.5%. Extensive data from flexural strength testing, dry–wet testing, deicer frost testing, and chloride penetration testing were recorded and analyzed. The test results show that the addition of the fiber improves the failure form of the concrete specimens, and 0.1% fiber content maximizes the compactness of the concrete. The flexural strength of specimen C2 with 0.1% fiber shows the highest strength obtained herein after freeze–thaw cycling, and the water absorption of specimen C2 is also the lowest after dry–wet cycling. The results also indicate that increasing the fiber volume content improves the freeze–thaw resistance of the concrete in a chloride environment. Chlorine ions migrate with the moisture during dry–wet and freeze–thaw cycling. The chlorine ion diffusion coefficient (Dcl) increases with increasing fiber content, except for that of specimen C2 in a chloride environment. The Dcl during freeze–thaw cycling is much higher than that during dry–wet cycling.

Fiber reinforced concrete is composite material consisting of mixtures of cement, mortar or concrete, discontinuous discrete uniform dispersed suitable fibers. Fiber reinforced concrete are of different types and properties. In this paper analysis of properties of concrete using steel fibre as fiber reinforcement admixture is studied and verified the strength of concrete to normal plane concrete with absence of admixtures. Using steel fibers as fiber reinforcement admixture increases bond strength by enhancing surface tension as steel is better in taking flexural strength this gives better results, hence we can use this steel fiber reinforcement to concrete where the compressive and flexural strength place a crucial role in construction and maintenance.

The Matrix

ABSTRACTHigh strain rates lead to substantial modifications in the stress-strain (or stress-displacement) response of fiber reinforced concrete in tension. These modifications include higher strength and corresponding strain, as well as smaller displacement at failure.The purpose of this paper is to investigate the behavior of fiber reinforced concrete under impact tensile loading, and to study the effect of strain rate on the post-cracking strength of the composite. The variation of the tensile strength of the matrix with the reinforcement parameters such as volume fraction Vf and aspect ratio |/φ of the fibers is also studied ip this paper. A special emphasis is placed on the stress-displacement relationship of steel fiber reinforced concrete in its post-cracking range. An empirical model of the stress- displacement relationship as a function of the strain rate is developed from experimental data from tensile tests on dogbone shape notched tensile prisms. The model highlights the effects of strain rate and fiber properties on the post-cracking strength of the composite, as well as the displacement at failure. The effect of strain rate on the post-cracking toughness of fiber reinforced concrete is also addressed. The literature on impact effects on concrete in tension (plain and fiber reinforced) is briefly reviewed in this paper, and so is the state of the art of testing techniques for strain rate effects.

This paper evaluated mixed mode I/II fracture toughness of fiber-reinforced concrete using cracked semi-circular bend (SCB) specimens subjected to three-point bending test. Additionally, a comparison was made between the experimental results and the estimations made by different theoretical criteria. Natural and synthetic fibers at various concentrations were used in this study. After producing cracks in SCB specimens at different inclination angles to induce different mixed mode loading conditions (from pure mode I to II), the fracture toughness of SCB specimens was determined. Furthermore, the compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural strength of natural and synthetic fiber-reinforced concrete were measured after 7 and 28 days of curing. While there is an increase in the aforementioned strengths with fiber content increase, 0.3% was found to be the optimum percentage regarding fracture toughness for both fibers. Also, the comparison between the experimental and theoretical results showed that generalized maximum tangential stress criterion estimated the experimental data satisfactorily.
