The behaviour under torsion of reinforced concrete beams with steel fibres as mass reinforcement is experimentally investigated. Short hooked-ended steel fibres with aspect ratio lf/df = 37.5 are used. Test results of 35 beams with rectangular, L-shaped and T-shaped cross-sections tested in pure torsion are presented and discussed. Various configurations of conventional and fibre steel reinforcement are examined. The experimental program includes (i) plain concrete beams (control specimens), (ii) specimens with longitudinal reinforcing bars and (iii) specimens with bars and stirrups. All cases are examined with 0%, 1% and 3% steel fibre volume fractions. The use of steel fibres as the only shear torsional reinforcement is also reported herein, in an attempt to examine the effectiveness of fibres as a potential replacement of stirrups. Test results indicated that fibrous concrete beams exhibited improved overall torsional performance with respect to the corresponding non-fibrous control beams. The addition of steel fibres was essential to the tested beams without or with inadequate conventional steel reinforcement. Fibres prevented the sudden brittle failure of both rectangular and non-rectangular beams and proved to be under some circumstances adequate to provide for enhanced torsional moment capacities, even in the case of full replacement of stirrups with steel fibres. 相似文献

《Composites》1995,26(9):611-617
A comparative evaluation is made of a variety of possible fibrous reinforcements for strengthening zinc-aluminium foundry alloys. The composites are processed by squeeze casting, using preforms of alumina, carbon, stainless steel or low carbon steel fibres. A drastic improvement of the creep strength is achieved with the use of alumina or steel fibres. However, an acceptable level of fracture toughness is maintained only in the composites reinforced with steel fibres. This property results from the low interface adhesion which allows bridging of the crack by the fibres. Low carbon steel fibres do not exhibit more interface reaction than stainless steel fibres. It is concluded that low carbon steel fibres provide a better compromise when taking into account the creep strength, the fracture toughness and the cost of the composite. 相似文献

In this study we investigate the tensile behaviour of unidirectional and cross-ply composites reinforced with ductile stainless steel fibres and modified adhesion to the epoxy matrix. Results show that annealed stainless steel fibres have a potential in designing tough polymer composites for structural applications. The stiffness of the UD composites made from these fibres is 77GPa combined with the strain-to-failure between 15% and 18% depending on the level of adhesion. Silane treatments were used to modify the adhesion. By treating the stainless steel fibres with different silane coupling agents, an increase of 50% in the transverse 3-point-bending strength was realised. Increasing the adhesion by 50% leads to a higher tensile strength and strain-to-failure in both UD and cross-ply laminates and a higher in-situ strength of the 90° plies. It also delays formation of matrix cracks and hinders growth of debonding. 相似文献

The paper presents results of an experimental investigation on the influence of steel fibres on the free shrinkage of cement-based
matrices. Shrinkage tests were carried out on cement paste, mortar and two types of concrete mixes for a period of up to 520
days. Melt extract, crimped and hooked steel fibres were used for reinforcement at volume fractions ranging between 1 and
3%. The results indicate that fibres restrain the shrinkage of the various cement matrices to a significant extent, resulting
in reductions of up to 40%. Crimped fibres are the most efficient in providing shrinkage restraint. The paper also presents
a theoretical expression and an empirical expression which can be used to predict shrinkage strains of steel fibre reinforced
cement matrices. The analysis requires a knowledge of the values of coefficient of friction, μ, at the fibre-matrix interface,
which are also derived in this paper. The μ values for steel fibres in normal concrete, mortar and cement paste range between
0.07 and 0.12. 相似文献

Long-term properties of steel fibre reinforced marine concrete 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The paper presents some results from a continuing research programme which aims to develop steel fibre reinforced concrete
(sfrc) for marine applications and to investigate its durability.
A mix of proportions by weight of 1:1.5:0.86 was adopted which was reinforced with three types of steel fibres, namely, low
carbon steel, corrosion resistant and melt extract. Prism specimens were cured under marine exposure, both in the laboratory
and at Aberdeen beach, for up to 2000 wet-dry cycles (1250 days) and were tested at regular intervals of age. The paper presents
results on long-term compressive strength, flexural strength and ductility as measured from flexural load-deflection curves.
The state of fibres, with respect to corrosion, is also discussed.
The results indicate that melt extract fibres, although least effective from the mechanical strength point of view, are the
most suitable for marine applications. 相似文献

Hybridization of steel–polypropylene leads to improvements of both the mechanical and ductility characteristics of concrete. In this investigation, the effect of steel, polypropylene (PP) and steel-PP hybrid fibres on the compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural toughness and ductility of oil palm shell fibre reinforced concrete (OPSFRC) was studied. The comparison on the above said properties between the specimens prepared with crushed and uncrushed oil palm shell (OPS) as lightweight coarse aggregate was also carried out. The experimental results showed that the highest compressive strength of about 50 MPa was produced by the mix with 0.9% steel and 0.1% PP hybrid fibres. The highest increments in the splitting tensile and the flexural strengths of the OPSFRC were found up to 83% and 34%, respectively. However, the mixes with 1% PP fibres produced negative effects on both the compressive and tensile strengths. The results on the toughness indices showed that the OPSC possess no post-cracking flexural toughness. Though, the flexural deflection and toughness of the OPSC was significantly enhanced by the addition of fibres; the dominance of the steel fibre on the first crack flexural deflection and toughness of OPSFRC was evident. The mixes with 0.9% steel and 0.1% PP hybrid fibres reported the highest improvement in toughness index and residual strength factor. 相似文献

AbstractLow isostatic press sintering (LIPS) behaviour was examined using a mixture of high speed steel powder and discontinuous alumina fibre, and mechanical properties of the obtained LIPS compact were estimated. LIPS is applicable to the composite system in which a reaction gas is generated during sintering because evacuation is continuously carried out during sintering. As the volume fraction of discontinuous alumina fibres is large, pores are formed in the fibre aggregated region, resulting in an increase in porosity. For discontinuous alumina fibre uniformly dispersed composite with no fibre aggregated region, the critical volume fraction of discontinuous alumina fibres exists and depends on both the ratio of the particle diameter of the high speed steel powder to the diameter of the discontinuous alumina fibre and the dispersion morphology of discontinuous alumina fibres. The dispersion of 20 vol.-% discontinuous alumina fibre in high speed steel leads to an increase in wear resistance. 相似文献

The paper presents some results from a continuing study of the marine durability of steel fibre reinforced concrete. The overall
aim of the investigation is to develop the material for marine applications. The results reported here pertain to pre-cracked
specimens of steel fibre reinforced concrete which were exposed to wet-dry cycles of marine spray in the laboratory simulating
tidal zone conditions of exposure. Two types of concrete mixes were used in the investigation—one with standard concrete constituents
and OPC and the second replacing about 26% of cement with pfa. The cement content of the mixes was 590 and 435 kg m−3, respectively. Fibre reinforcement was provided by means of low carbon steel fibres and melt extract steel fibres at a v
f
ℓ/d ratio of 100 and 147. Prism specimens were manufactured and these were precracked to induce cracks of width ranging between
0.03 and 1.73 mm. After cracking, both sealed and unsealed specimens were exposed to laboratory marine spray cycles using
sea water. Some control specimens were cured in the laboratory air throughout. Tests were carried out after 650 marine cycles
(450 days) and 1450 marine cycles (900 days). Based on data on flexural strength, energy absorption capacity, stiffness and
state of corrosion of the fibres, recommendations are made regarding suitable permissible crack widths for the design of steel
fibre reinforced concrete for marine applications. The results indicate that a permissible crack width of 0.2 mm is satisfactory
for concrete reinforced with melt extract fibres. A smaller value is recommended for concrete reinforced with low carbon steel
fibres. Complete healing of open cracks of small widths is observed under exposure to marine cycles. 相似文献

This paper describes the steps taken to develop self-compacting high and ultra high-performance concretes with and without steel fibres. For the self-compacting concrete mixes without steel fibres the fulfilment of flow and cohesiveness criteria are sufficient for the mix design. However, for the design of self-compacting concrete mixes with steel fibres it is found, as expected, that they must additionally meet the passing ability criterion. The plastic viscosity of the mixes with and without steel fibres has been estimated from the known plastic viscosity of the cement paste using simple micromechanical relations. 相似文献

The orientation and distribution of the fibres is decisive in the mechanical behaviour of fibre-reinforced concrete. Several classical models have extensively been used for the case of rigid steel fibres. The increasing interest in structural synthetic fibres that can bend demanded new considerations in this matter. A probabilistic model considering the previous research with stereographical assumptions has been performed allowing the use of fibres that can bend. This paper also provides significant tools for design engineering in order to predict and confirm the number of fibres crossing a vertical surface using fibre reinforced concrete with steel and polyolefin fibres. Additionally, the proposed model coincides with the most accepted values and represents with accuracy the existence of boundaries. 相似文献

The damage mechanism and ballistic resistance of steel–fibres reinforced two-layer explosively welded steel/aluminum targets were investigated by the methods of ballistic experiments and numerical simulation by finite element code LS-DYNA 3D. Different from the traditional monolithic and multi-layer metal targets, there are reinforced steel–fibres and good surface-to-surface combination strength between layers of the target. The total thickness of the target was 5 mm and the diameter of the spherical steel fragments was 8 mm. The effects of layer thickness distribution and fibre density on the ballistic resistance were discussed. In addition, the ballistic resistance of composite target was compared with the same combination target without reinforced steel–fibres. The results show that the failure mode of steel front plate is shearing and plugging and that of aluminum rear plate is ductile prolonging deformation when the tied interface failed by tension (or shearing and plugging when the interface combination keep tied). Meanwhile, the steel–fibres failed by bending and tensile deformation. The V50 value of target was maximum when the thickness ratio of steel front plate and aluminum rear plate was 3:1. The ballistic resistance of target with reinforced steel–fibres is generally better than that of the same thickness target without reinforced steel–fibres and the ballistic resistance decreased with the decrease of the fibre density. 相似文献

This paper focuses on the experimental investigation carried out on high strength concrete reinforced with hybrid fibres (combination of hooked steel and a non-metallic fibre) up to a volume fraction of 0.5%. The mechanical properties, namely, compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength and flexural toughness were studied for concrete prepared using different hybrid fibre combinations – steel–polypropylene, steel–polyester and steel–glass. The flexural properties were studied using four point bending tests on beam specimens as per Japanese Concrete Institute (JCI) recommendations. Fibre addition was seen to enhance the pre-peak as well as post-peak region of the load–deflection curve, causing an increase in flexural strength and toughness, respectively. Addition of steel fibres generally contributed towards the energy absorbing mechanism (bridging action) whereas, the non-metallic fibres resulted in delaying the formation of micro-cracks. Compared to other hybrid fibre reinforced concretes, the flexural toughness of steel–polypropylene hybrid fibre concretes was comparable to steel fibre concrete. Increased fibre availability in the hybrid fibre systems (due to the lower densities of non-metallic fibres), in addition to the ability of non-metallic fibres to bridge smaller micro cracks, are suggested as the reasons for the enhancement in mechanical properties. 相似文献

Mechanical properties of steel fibre reinforced lightweight concrete with pumice stone or expanded clay aggregates 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
This paper presents basic information on the mechanical properties of steel fibre-reinforced light-weight concrete, manufactured using pumice stone or expanded clay aggregates. Results are presented for standard compressive tests and indirect tensile tests (splitting tests on cylinder specimens and flexure tests on prismatic beams using a three-point loading arrangement) under monotonically increasing or cyclically varying loads. The influence of steel fibres and aggregate types on modulus of elasticity, compressive and tensile strength and post-peak behaviour is evaluated. Test results show that compressive strength does not change for pumice stone aggregates, while an increase is observed for expanded clay; tensile strength and fracture toughness are significantly improved for both pumice stone and expanded clay. The results also show that with both expanded clay and pumice stone lightweight aggregates a suitable content of fibres allows one to obtain performances comparable with those expected from normal weight concrete, the important advantage of lower structural weight being maintained. 相似文献

This research discusses polypropylene fibres and three sizes of steel fibres reinforced concrete. The total fibre content ranges from 0% to 0.95% by volume of concrete. A four-point bending test is adopted on the notched prisms with the size of 100×100×500 mm3 to investigate the effect of hybrid fibres on crack arresting. The research results show that there is a positive synergy effect between large steel fibres and polypropylene fibres on the load-bearing capacity and fracture toughness in the small displacement range. But this synergy effect disappears in the large displacement range. The large and strong steel fibre is better than soft polypropylene fibre and small steel fibre in the aspect of energy absorption capacity in the large displacement range. The static service limitation for the hybrid fibres concrete, with “a wide peak” or “multi-peaks” load–CMOD patterns, should be carefully selected. The ultimate load bearing capacity and the crack width or CMOD at this load level should be jointly considered in this case. The KIC and fracture toughness of proper hybrid fibre system can be higher than that of mono-fibre system. 相似文献

This paper presents an experimental study on the corrosion resistance of steel fibres and steel bar reinforcement in cement mortar. The mortar matrix incorporated various amounts of calcium chloride from 2 to 10%, and the rate of corrosion was monitored by the electrode potential method. The structure of the mortar and the steel surfaces were examined by scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the addition of calcium chloride modified the microstructure of the mortar matrix, both its water absorption capacity and its porosity increased with increasing amounts of calcium chloride. The electric potential measurements showed that while the bar reinforcement displayed corrosion at 2% calcium chloride, the fibres did not indicate any harmful corrosion until the chloride content was 6%. Chloride admixtures added to concrete may thus be less harmful to steel in steel fibre concrete than in reinforced concrete. 相似文献

Steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) is in many ways a well-known construction material, and its use has gradually increased over the last decades. The mechanical properties of SFRC are well described based on the theories of fracture mechanics. However, knowledge on other material properties, including the electrical resistivity, is sparse. Among others, the electrical resistivity of concrete has an effect on the corrosion process of possible embedded bar reinforcement and transfer of stray current. The present paper provides experimental results concerning the influence of the fibre volume fraction and the moisture content of the SFRC on its electrical resistivity. The electrical resistivity was measured by alternating current (AC) at 126 Hz. Moreover, an analytical model for the prediction of the electrical resistivity of SFRC is presented. The analytical model is capable of predicting the observed correlation between the fibre volume fraction and the electrical resistivity of the composite (the SFRC) for conductive fibres and moisture saturated concrete. This indicates that the steel fibres were conducting when measuring the electrical resistivity by AC at 126 Hz. For partly saturated concrete the model underestimated the influence of the addition of fibres. The results indicate that the addition of steel fibres reduce the electrical resistivity of concrete if the fibres are conductive. This represents a hypothetical case where all fibres are depassivated (corroding) which was created to obtain a conservative estimate on the influence of fibres on the electrical resistivity of concrete. It was observed that within typical ranges of variation the influence of the moisture content on the electrical resistivity was larger than the effect of addition of conductive steel fibres, but also that the relative impact on the electrical resistivity due to conductive steel fibres increased when the moisture content of the concrete was reduced. 相似文献

The results of an experimental investigation are presented, studying the effect of fibres on the behaviour of reinforced-concrete
(RC) structures designed in accordance with Eurocode 8. Twelve two-span continuous RC columns, eight with and four without
steel fibres, were tested to failure, under constant axial force and monotonic or cyclic lateral displacement. Specimens without
fibres suffered in some cases premature brittle failure, reflecting the incompatibility between post-peak concrete behaviour
and the theoretical model underlying RC design. It was shown that it is possible to correct for this incompatibility through
the use of steel fibres, resulting in a behaviour that satisfied current performance requirements for strength and ductility. 相似文献

The paper deals with the results of tests on concrete beams with and without steel fibres, reinforced (with high yield flexural steel only) and without any reinforcement loaded statically both long and short term. Tests were carried out for both serviceability and ultimate limit states. Measurements were taken of load, strains, crack width and crack pattern, and deflection. For short term loading the beams were loaded incrementally to failure, whilst for the long term tests were loaded incrementally to their service load which was maintained for 28 days before being increased to failure. From the long term tests the effects of creep can be determined.
A total of 15 beams were tested over 28 days. The fibres were stainless steel with an aspect ratio of 55 and a volume fraction of 1·5%. In all cases the results indicate successively better performances as fibre reinforcement and bar reinforcement were added. 相似文献

AbstractThe aim of the present experimental study was to investigate improvement of the toughness and strength of grey cast iron by reinforcing with steel fibres. The carbon content of the steel fibres was chosen to be sufficiently low that graphite flakes behaving as cracks were removed by carbon diffusion from the cast iron to the steel fibres during the solidification and cooling stages. To produce a graphite free matrix, steel fibres with optimum carbon content were used and the reinforced composite structure was cast under controlled casting conditions and fibre orientation. Three point bend test specimens were manufactured from steel fibre reinforced and unreinforced flake graphite cast iron and then normalising heat treatments were applied to the specimens at temperatures of 800 and 850°C. The fracture toughness and strength properties of the steel fibre reinforced material were found to be much better than those of unreinforced cast iron. The microstructures of the composite at the fibre–matrix transition zone were examined. 相似文献
