Abstract:

For use in fire resistance calculations, the relevant thermal and mechanical properties of steel-fibre-reinforced concrete at elevated temperatures were determined. These properties included the thermal conductivity, specific heat, thermal expansion, and mass loss, as well as the strength and deformation properties of steel-fibre-reinforced siliceous and carbonate aggregate concretes. The thermal properties are presented in equations that express the values of these properties as a function of temperature in the temperature range between 0 °C and 1000 °C. The mechanical properties are given in the form of stress–strain relationships for the concretes at elevated temperatures. The results indicate that the steel fibres have little influence on the thermal properties of the concretes. The influence on the mechanical properties, however, is relatively greater than the influence on the thermal properties and is expected to be beneficial to the fire resistance of structural elements constructed of fibre-reinforced concrete. Key words: steel fibre, reinforced concrete, thermal properties, mechanical properties, fire resistance.

Abstract:

In this paper, the flexural behaviour of M30 grade basalt fibred concrete slabs made with basalt fibre reinforced polymer rebars are studied and compared with slabs made with steel rebars. The optimum percentage of basalt is 0.3% for 50mm length basalt fibres. Due to high particle packing density in concrete made with basalt fibre micro cracks are prevented due to enhanced fatigue and stress dissipation capacity. Addition of basalt fibres to enhances the energy absorbtion capacity or toughness thereby enhancing the resistance to local damage and spalling. Addition of basalt fibres controlled the crack growth and crack width. Load at first crack of M30 grade basalt fibred concrete slabs made with basalt fibre reinforced polymer rebars is more than M30 grade conventional concrete slabs made with steel rebars because the with addition of basalt and BFRP bars will make either the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) strong or due to bond strength of concrete slabs made with basalt fibre reinforced polymer rebars. The ultimate strength in M30 grade basalt fibred concrete slabs made with basalt fibre reinforced polymer rebars is more than conventional concrete slabs made with steel rebars. Deflection at the centre of M30 grade basalt fibred concrete slabs made with basalt fibre reinforced polymer rebars is almost double than the conventional concrete slabs made with steel rebars. Toughness indices evaluated for M30 grade basalt fibred concrete slabs made with basalt fibre reinforced polymer rebars indicates that basalt fibre and BFRP bars will enhance the energy absorbtion capacity of slabs.

Abstract:

Numerous studies have been conducted recently on fibre reinforced concrete (FRC), a material that is frequently utilized in the building sector. The utilization of FRC has grown in relevance recently due to its enhanced mechanical qualities over normal concrete. Due to increased environmental degradation in recent years, natural fibres were developed and research is underway with the goal of implementing them in the construction industry. In this work, several natural and artificial fibres, including glass, carbon, steel, jute, coir, and sisal fibres are used to experimentally investigate the mechanical and durability properties of fibre-reinforced concrete. The fibres were added to the M40 concrete mix with a volumetric ratio of 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0% and 2.5%. The compressive strength of the conventional concrete and fibre reinforced concrete with the addition of 1.5% steel, 1.5% carbon, 1.0% glass, 2.0% coir, 1.5% jute and 1.5% sisal fibres were 4.2 N/mm2, 45.7 N/mm2, 41.5 N/mm2, 45.7 N/mm2, 46.6 N/mm2, 45.7 N/mm2 and 45.9 N/mm2, respectively. Comparing steel fibre reinforced concrete to regular concrete results in a 13.69% improvement in compressive strength. Similarly, the compressive strengths were increased by 3.24%, 13.69%, 15.92%, 13.68% and 14.18% for carbon, glass, coir, jute, and sisal fibre reinforced concrete respectively when equated with plain concrete. With the optimum fraction of fibre reinforced concrete, mechanical and durability qualities were experimentally investigated. A variety of durability conditions, including the Rapid Chloride Permeability Test, water absorption, porosity, sorptivity, acid attack, alkali attack, and sulphate attack, were used to study the behaviour of fiber reinforced concrete. When compared to conventional concrete, natural fibre reinforced concrete was found to have higher water absorption and sorptivity. The rate of acid and chloride attacks on concrete reinforced with natural fibres was significantly high. The artificial fibre reinforced concrete was found to be more efficient than the natural fibre reinforced concrete. The load bearing capacity, anchorage and the ductility of the concrete improved with the addition of fibres. According to the experimental findings, artificial fibre reinforced concrete can be employed to increase the structure’s strength and longevity as well as to postpone the propagation of cracks. A microstructural analysis of concrete was conducted to ascertain its morphological characteristics.

Abstract:

The fibre utilization efficiency of directionally distributed fibre-reinforced concrete is better than that of randomly distributed fibre. However, controlling the fibre direction is difficult, which limits its applications. In this paper, a method in which fibres were artificially directed was used to simulate the feasibility of orienting fibres during 3D concrete printing. Based on artificially directed steel fibre-reinforced concrete specimens, the orientation characteristics of directional fibre-reinforced concrete specimens were studied. The differences between the gravity and the boundary effects in ordinary fibre-reinforced concrete and artificially directed fibre-reinforced concrete were compared. The average orientation coefficient in randomly distributed fibre-reinforced concrete was 0.59, whereas this value in directionally distributed fibre-reinforced concrete was over 0.9. This result demonstrated the feasibility of manually orienting the fibres in steel fibre-reinforced concrete in layer-by-layer casting.

Abstract:

This paper prophesies the stress strain behaviour of M30 grade concrete reinforced with basalt fibres of length 12 mm, 36 mm and 50 mm of amounts 0.4%, 0.4% and 0.3% by volume of concrete respectively. Modulus of elasticity and toughness of M30 grade basalt fibre reinforced concretes are also evaluated. It was found that BFRCC mixes show good resistance to impact and has superior dissipation capacity. The optimal basalt fibre volume fraction is 0.3% and length is 50 mm. For this case, toughness index and energy absorbed at fracture have considerably enhanced. With the volume fraction of basalt fiber exceeding the optimum volume fraction, the mechanical properties of basalt fiber are weakened.

Abstract:

Self-compacting concrete presents good workability to fill complicated forms without mechanical vibrations. This concrete is often reinforced with fibres to improve the strength and toughness. This study investigated the use of nickel -titanium (NiTi) shape memory alloy fibres in comparison with polypropylene and steel fibres in self-compacting concrete. The performances of the fresh fibre–reinforced self-compacting concrete are explored by slump flow and J-ring experiments. Meanwhile, the static and cyclic flexural tests are conducted to estimate the bending resistance strength performance, residual deformation and recovering capacity of shape memory alloy, polypropylene and steel fibre–reinforced self-compacting concrete. Moreover, the flexural toughness of the shape memory alloy, polypropylene and steel fibre–reinforced self-compacting concrete is calculated using four different codes. The shape memory alloy fibre–reinforced self-compacting concrete with 0.75% volume fraction presents the largest flexural strength, re-centering ability and toughness in comparison with polypropylene and steel fibre–reinforced self-compacting concretes. The experimental results demonstrated the beneficial influence of the shape memory and superelastic properties of NiTi in postponing initial crack formation and restricting the crack widths.

Abstract:

Exposure of concrete to intense heat will cause deterioration of its strength and durability. Previously, the fire-damaged concrete was repaired using the shotcrete and normal concrete. Recent studies utilize fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) in repairing fire-damaged concrete. Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) mostly developed using fine size aggregate, cement, silica fume, super plasticizer and reinforced with steel fibre has an excellent mechanical properties compared to high strength concrete and with an addition of steel fibre in the UHPFRC enhances its ductility behaviour which is not possessed by normal concrete, hence, UHPFRC indicates a promising candidate as repair material to fire-damaged concrete. The aim of this paper is to review on the properties of UHPFRC to be utilized as repair material to fire-damaged concrete structure based on previous research on UHPFRC and fire-damaged structure.

Abstract:

Hybrid fibres addition in concrete proved to be a promising method to improve the composite mechanical properties of the cementitious system. Fibre combinations involving different fibre lengths and moduli were added in high strength slag based concrete to evaluate the strain hardening properties. Influence of hybrid fibres consisting of steel and polypropylene fibres added in slag based cementitious system (50% CRL) was explored. Effects of hybrid fibre addition at optimum volume fraction of 2% of steel fibres and 0.5% of PP fibres (long and short steel fibre combinations) were observed in improving the postcrack strength properties of concrete. Test results also indicated that the hybrid steel fibre additions in slag based concrete consisting of short steel and polypropylene (PP) fibres exhibited a the highest compressive strength of 48.56 MPa. Comparative analysis on the performance of monofibre concrete consisting of steel and PP fibres had shown lower residual strength compared to hybrid fibre combinations. Hybrid fibres consisting of long steel-PP fibres potentially improved the absolute and residual toughness properties of concrete composite up to a maximum of 94.38% compared to monofibre concrete. In addition, the relative performance levels of different hybrid fibres in improving the matrix strain hardening, postcrack toughness, and residual strength capacity of slag based concretes were evaluated systematically.

Abstract:

Different authors conducted studies on fiber reinforced concretes (FRC) with carbon fibres of different lengths and some results showed that concrete mix with homogeneously distributed short fibres in their volume have good strength and ultra-strain compared to normal plain concrete mix. However, this study is focused more on 3-dimensional (3D) carbon fibre reinforced plastic (epoxy) CFRP composite thin rods frame used as a reinforcement in concrete which shows good increase in loadbearing and ductility. Were investigated concrete mixes with superplasticizer, nano-silica, quartz sand, fine natural sand and gravels. Diagonal cross bracing carbon fibre epoxy frames were used as a reinforcement giving better ductility results. Proposed study approach is to show that the reinforced concrete with provided materials have an increased performance in terms of ductility, sustainability, and load bearing in cracked statement. Total, four groups of concrete and each group with three beams were casted and tested in this experiment, three groups with three different shapes of carbon frames and three beams without frames to compare the mechanical properties after 28 days. Failure mechanisms in any particular case were analysed.

Abstract:

A wide range of fibre reinforced concretes, potentially capable of sprayed application, and which could be used for protecting buildings, has been tested. Specimens 450mm square have been impacted by 7.62mm A. P. projectiles, and the damage assessed in terms of penetration path lengths within the specimens and the volume of the impact face spall crater. It has been found that inclusion of fibres does not increase the penetration resistance, but a small proportion of fibres significantly reduces the impact face spalling. The mechanisms of penetration and spalling have been examined using high speed photographic techniques and instrumented specimens.

Abstract:

El uso de materiales compuestos de matriz polimérica (FRP) emerge como alternativa al hormigón convencionalmente armado con acero debido a la mayor resistencia a la corrosión de dichos materiales. El presente estudio investiga el comportamiento en servicio de vigas de hormigón armadas con barras de FRP mediante un análisis teórico y experimental. Se presentan los resultados experimentales de veintiséis vigas de hormigón armadas con barras de material compuesto de fibra de vidrio (GFRP) y una armada con acero, todas ellas ensayadas a flexión de cuatro puntos. Los resultados experimentales son analizados y comparados con algunos de los modelos de predicción más significativos de flechas y fisuración, observándose, en general, una predicción adecuada del comportamiento experimental hasta cargas de servicio. El análisis de sección fisurada (CSA) estima la carga última con precisión, aunque se registra un incremento de la flecha experimental para cargas superiores a las de servicio. Esta diferencia se atribuye a la influencia de las deformaciones por esfuerzo cortante y se calcula experimentalmente.
Se presentan los aspectos principales que influyen en los estados límites de servicio: tensiones de los materiales, ancho máximo de fisura y flecha máxima permitida. Se presenta una metodología para el diseño de dichos elementos bajo las condiciones de servicio. El procedimiento presentado permite optimizar las dimensiones de la sección respecto a metodologías más generales.
Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) bars have emerged as an alternative to steel for reinforced concrete (RC) elements in aggressive environments due to their non-corrosive properties. This study investigates the short-term serviceability behaviour of FRP RC beams through theoretical and experimental analysis. Twenty-six RC beams reinforced with glass-FRP (GFRP) and one steel RC beam are tested under four-point loading. The experimental results are discussed and compared to some of the most representative prediction models of deflections and cracking for steel and FRP RC finding that prediction models generally provide adequate values up to the service load. Additionally, cracked section analysis (CSA) is used to analyse the flexural behaviour of the specimens until failure. CSA estimates the ultimate load with accuracy, but it underestimates the experimental deflection beyond the service load level. This increment is mainly attributed in this work to shear induced deflection and it is experimentally calculated.
A discussion on the main aspects of the SLS of FRP RC is introduced: the stresses in materials, maximum crack width and the allowable deflection. A methodology for the design of FRP RC at the serviceability requirements is presented, which allows optimizing the overall depth of the element with respect to more generalised methodologies.

Abstract:

Concrete structures deteriorate over time due to different reasons and thus may not perform their function satisfactorily. Repair and rehabilitation of deteriorated concrete structures is often preferred over demolition and rebuilding for economic reasons. Various metallic and nonmetallic materials have been used in the past for repair and rehabilitation. These materials have advantages and disadvantages. The latter are connected with the mismatch in the properties of these materials with the material of the structure being repaired which often resulted in unwanted failure modes, e.g. delamination. For this reason, new cement-based ultra-high performance reinforced with steel fibres repair materials have been developed in the last two decades, which restore (and even enhance) the structural response and improve the durability of repaired concrete structures. One such ultra-high-performance fibre-reinforced concrete material is CARDIFRC. It is characterized by very high compressive strength, high tensile /flexural strength, and high energy-absorption capacity. However, it is very expensive and thus industrially uncompetitive due to the very high cost of thin brass-coated steel fibres used in it. It is therefore important to develop a version of CARDIFRC that is industrially competitive. This is one of the objectives of this research. An ultra-high-performance fibre-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) has been developed that is far less expensive than CARDIFRC and at the same time self-compacting. The steps necessary to achieve this have been described in this work. In addition, a full mechanical and fracture characterisation (i.e. size-independent fracture energy and the corresponding bi-linear stress-crack opening relationship) of this UHPFRC is presented. A nonlinear cracked hinge model has been used to back calculate the stress-crack opening relation of this material in an inverse manner from the test data. The second objective of this research concerns the flexural fatigue behaviour of this new UHPFRC. Tests have been conducted under several stress amplitude ranges. It has been found that the distribution of fibres plays a vital role in its fatigue resistance. Regions with few or no fibres can drastically reduce its fatigue life. As expected, non-zero mean stress leads to a significant reduction in the fatigue life of a material compared to cyclic loading with zero mean. The variation in compliance during cyclic loading has been used to estimate the expected fatigue life under a given cyclic load range, since the tests were terminated at one million cycles. The third objective of this research concerns the flexural fatigue behaviour of RC beams retrofitted with precast strips of this self-compacting UHPFRC on the tension face. Fatigue tests under several stress amplitude ranges have shown that this UHPFRC is an excellent retrofit material under fatigue loading. Again, the variation in compliance during the fatigue loading has been used to estimate the expected fatigue life for retrofitted RC beams.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Macro synthetic fibres are known to significantly improve the toughness and energy absorption capacity of conventional concrete in the short term. However, since macro synthetic fibre are flexible and have relatively low modulus of elastic compared to steel fibres, it is uncertain if the improved toughness and energy absorption could be sustained over a long time, particularly under sustained tensile loadings. The main goal of this study is to investigate the time-dependent crack mouth opening response of macro synthetic fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) under sustained uniaxial tensile loadings, and to simulate the flexural creep behaviour. For the purpose of simulating the in-service time-dependent condition, all specimens were pre-cracked. Experimental investigations were carried out at three levels (macro, single fibre and structural) to investigate the time-dependent behaviour and the mechanisms causing it. At the macro level, compressive strength, uniaxial tensile strength and uniaxial tensile creep test at 30 % to 70 % stress levels of the average residual tensile strength were performed. To understand the mechanism causing the time-dependent response, fibre tensile test, single fibre pullout rate test, time-dependent fibre pullout test and fibre creep test were done. Flexural test and flexural creep test were done to simulate the structural level performance. The results of this investigation have shown significant drop in stress and increase in crack width of uniaxial tensile specimens after the first crack. The post cracking response has shown significant toughness and energy absorption capacity. Under sustained load at different stress levels, significant crack opening has been recorded for a period of 8 month even at a low stress level of 30 %. Creep fracture of specimens occurred at 60 % and 70 % indicating that these stress levels are not sustainable for cracked macro synthetic FRC. The single fibre level investigations have revealed two mechanisms responsible for the time-dependent crack widening of cracked macro synthetic FRC under sustained loading: time-dependent fibre pullout and fibre creep. In all cases of investigation, fibre failure was by complete pullout without rupture. Flexural creep results have shown that the crack opening increases over time. After 8 months of investigation, the total crack opening was 0.2 mm and 0.5 mm at 30 % and 50 % stress levels respectively. Since the crack opening of tensile creep and flexural creep specimens cannot be compared due to differences in geometry, specimen size, load transfer mechanisms and stress distribution in the cracked plane, a finite element analysis (FEA) was conducted. Material model parameters obtained from the uniaxial tensile test and viscoelastic parameters from curve fitting to experimental uniaxial creep results have been implemented to successfully predict the time-dependent crack opening of specimens subjected to sustained flexural loading. Analyses results correspond well with experimental result at both 30 % and 50 % stress levels.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Makro sintetiese vesels is bekend daarvoor dat dit die taaiheid en energie absorpsie van konvensionele beton beduidend verbeter in die kort termyn. Aangesien makro sintetiese vesels buigsaam is met 'n relatiewe lae styfheidsmodulus in vergeleke met staalvesels, is dit onseker of die verhoogde kapasiteit vir energie absorpsie en taaiheid volgehou kan word oor die langer termyn, veral in gevalle waar dit aan volgehoue trekkragte blootgestel is. Die hoofdoel van die studie is om die tydafhanklike-kraakvergrotingsgedrag van makro sintetiese veselversterkte beton (VVB) wat blootgestel is aan volgehoue trekkragte te ondersoek asook die simulasie van die kruipgedrag in buig. Ten einde die werklike toetstande te simuleer is al die proefstukke doelbewus gekraak in 'n beheerde manier voor die aanvang van die toetse. Die eksperimentele ondersoek is uitgevoer op drie vlakke (makro, enkelvesel en strukturele) om die tydafhanklike gedrag sowel as die meganismes verantwoordelik vir hierdie gedrag te ondersoek. Op die makro-vlak is druktoetse gedoen saam met eenassige trek- en eenassige kruiptoetse met belastings tussen 30 % en 70 % van die gemiddelde residuele treksterkte. Om die meganisme wat die tydafhanklike gedrag veroorsaak te verstaan is veseltoetse, enkel vesel uittrektoetse, enkel vesel uittrek kruiptoetse asook kruiptoetse op vesels gedoen. Buigtoetse en buig kruiptoetse is ook gedoen om die gedrag op die strukturele vlak te ondersoek. Die resultate van hierdie ondersoek wys dat daar 'n beduidende val in spanning is en dat daar gepaardgaande kraak opening in die eenassige trek proefstukke plaasgevind het na die vorming van 'n kraak. Die na-kraak gedrag wys beduidende taaiheid en energie absorpsie kapasiteit. Gedurende die volgehoue trekbelasting by verskillende spanningsvlakke is beduidende kraakvergroting opgemerk, selfs by 30 % belasting na 8 maande. Kruipfaling het plaasgevind by proefstukke met belastings van 60 % en 70 % wat daarop wys dat hierdie spanningsvlakke nie geskik is vir gekraakte makro sintetiese VVB nie. Op die enkel veselvlak is twee meganismes geïdentifiseer wat verantwoordelik is vir die kraakvergroting oor tyd vir gekraakte makro sintetiese VVB met volgehoue trekbelasting: tydafhanklike vesel uittrek en vesel-kruip. In alle gevalle in hierdie ondersoek was die falingsmeganisme vesels wat uittrek. Buig kruiptoets resultate wys dat die krake vergroot oor tyd. Na 8 maande van ondersoek was die kraakwydtes 0.2 mm en 0.5 mm by 30 % en 50 % spanningsvlakke onderskeidelik. Aangesien die kraak opening van eenassige trek kruiptoetse en die buig kruiptoetse nie direk met mekaar vergelyk kan word nie weens die verskille in geometrie, proefstuk grootte en spanningsverdeling in die kraakvlak, is 'n eindige element analises (EEA) gedoen. Materiaal eienskappe is bepaal deur gebruik te maak van die eenassige kruip trektoets se resultate en viskoelastiese parameters is bepaal deur middel van kurwepassing van die resultate. Dit was gebruik om suksesvol die buig kruip kraak opening gedrag te simuleer. Die analises se resultate vergelyk goed met die eksperimentele data by beide 30 % en 50 % spanningsvlakke.

Abstract:

Ultra-high performance fibre reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) possesses favourable mechanical properties in comparison with normal strength concrete. Despite a surge in interest among researchers and industries over the past decade, there is negligible research data on the performance of UHPFRC in fire. This situation is compounded by the lack of design guidelines of UHPFRC in major structural design codes both at ambient and at elevated temperatures. The experimental work conducted was divided into three parts. The first part involved casting and testing of nine beams for flexure at ambient temperature. The beams were reinforced with steel fibres at 1, 2 and 4 vol. % and cured in two different conditions (20 °C and 90 °C water). In the second part, nine beams with two different steel fibre dosages (2 and 4 vol. %) were tested at elevated temperatures under an ISO 834 standard fire curve. Seven of these were tested while loaded at three different loading levels (0.2, 0.4 and 0.6). The other two, cured in different conditions, were tested unloaded at elevated temperatures to study the influence of the curing temperature. The third part involved determining the residual strength of the UHPFRC. The residual strength tests sought to investigate the influence of the curing temperature on the strength degradation of UHPFRC, with the aim of understanding the post-fire analysis and repairs. A finite element model was created using DIANA software followed by a parametric study. In the ambient temperature tests, the hot-cured beams recorded higher compressive strength. However, despite having lower compressive strength, the cold-cured beams had the higher load bearing capacity. Exposure of beams to fire was characterised with explosive spalling. Spalling was more prevalent in beams containing 2 vol. % of steel fibres. The beams under the 0.4 load level spalled significantly more than the other two load categories and had the least fire resistance. The addition of polypropylene fibres eliminated spalling and effectively increased the fire resistance of the beam. The curing temperature had an influence on the fire performance of the beams, the hot-cured beam spalled significantly more than the cold-cured. The findings from the residual strength tests indicated that the relative residual strength of cold-cured elements was higher than the hot-cured.

Abstract:

Abstract. The experimental study provides a series of tests for characterizing the structural behavior of fibre reinforced concrete beams subjected to shear loads. The paper involves usage of 2 types of fibers - polypropylene and steel fiber. The work suggests that the shear cracking resistance of the materials used are significantly improved by the fibers. The fibers reduced the crack width to about one quarter of the width in the shear-reinforced girders. Reliance on steel fibres increases the ductility of concrete. Adding steel fibres to concrete improves its post-tensile cracking behaviour. Shear strength is increased with the increase in fiber aspect ratio and fiber volume fraction. The concrete beams are casted for the size of 150 mm x 250 mm x 2100 mm. The behavior of fiber reinforced concrete beams for the addition of 0.4 percentage of fibers in both PFRC and SFRC under loading condition were observed and the load carrying capacity was increased compared to reinforced concrete.

Abstract:

<p>This paper reports the experimental and numerical studies of concrete beams reinforced with glass fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcing bars with and without the addition of steel fibres. GFRP- reinforced concrete beam specimens of equivalent geometry were produced and tested under symmetrical two-point loading configuration. Deformation and cracking behaviour were monitored during the test, and the curvature was determined from the measured deformation response over the pure bending zone. In view of the lower stiffness of GFRP bars compared to conventional steel bars, the effectiveness of adding steel fibres to increase the flexural stiffness is investigated. Experimental results show that the steel fibres could reduce the average crack width and deflections of the beam, and could lead to a more ductile failure mode. The beam specimen was numerically analysed by employing the nonlinear finite element programme ATENA, and the analytical results are in good agreement with the experimental results.</p>

Abstract:

A patented active porcelain enamel coating improves both the bond between the concrete and steel reinforcement as well as its corrosion resistance. A Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program to develop a commercial method for production of porcelain-coated fibers was developed in 2015. Market potential of this technology with its steel/concrete bond improvements and corrosion protection suggests that it can compete with other fiber reinforcing systems, with improvements in performance, durability, and cost, especially as compared to smooth fibers incorporated into concrete slabs and beams. Preliminary testing in a Phase 1 SBIR investigation indicated that active ceramic coatings on small diameter wire significantly improved the bond between the wires and the concrete to the point that the wires achieved yield before pullout without affecting the strength of the wire. As part of an SBIR Phase 2 effort, the University of Louisville under contract for Ceramics, Composites and Coatings Inc., proposed an investigation to evaluate active enamel-coated steel fibers in typical concrete applications and in masonry grouts in both tension and compression. Evaluation of the effect of the incorporation of coated fibers into Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) was examined using flexural and compressive strength testing as well as through nanoindentation.

Abstract:

Steel fibers are typically used in ultra-high performance concretes (UHPC) to impart flexural ductility and increase fracture toughness. However, the mechanical properties of the steel fibers are underutilized in UHPC, as evidenced by the fact that most of the steel fibers pull out of a UHPC matrix largely undamaged during tensile or flexural tests. This research aims to improve the bond between steel fibers and a UHPC matrix by using steel wool. The underlying mechanism for fiber-matrix bond improvement is the reinforcement of the matrix tunnel, surrounding the steel fibers, by steel wool. Single fiber pullout tests were performed to quantify the effect of steel wool content in UHPC on the fiber-matrix bond. Microscopic observations of pulled-out fibers were used to investigate the fiber-matrix interface. Compared to the control UHPC mixture with no steel wool, significant improvement in the flexural behavior was observed in the UHPC mixtures with steel wool. Thus, the addition of steel wool in steel fiber-reinforced UHPC provides multi-scale reinforcement that leads to significant improvement in fiber-matrix bond and mechanical properties of UHPC.
