Abstract

Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) is a concrete mixture containing discontinuous, discrete steel fibers that are randomly dispersed and uniformly distributed. The quality and quantity of steel fibers influence the mechanical properties of concrete. It is in general accepted that the addition of steel fibers significantly increases tensile toughness and ductility, also slightly enhances the compressive strength. The benefits of using steel fibers become apparent after concrete cracking because the tensile stress is then redistributed to fibers. The objective of this study is to investigate the compressive and tensile behavior of steel fibers in reinforced concrete by conducting an experimental program consisting of load testing on various specimens made from conventional concrete (CC) and steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC). Test series consisted of cylindrical compression (100×200 and 150×300 mm) and prismatic modulus of rupture (150×150×600 mm) specimens. Tensile tests on reinforcing bars surrounded by prismatic concrete specimens were also performed. The variables used in these tests were lengths (500, 1000, and 1500 mm) and cross-sectional dimensions (60×60, 100×100,150×150, 200×200 mm) of the prismatic concrete specimens around a reinforcing bar.
