Influence of Organic Fiber Kinds on Engineering Properties of Concrete

유기질 섬유 종류가 콘크리트의 공학적 특성에 미치는 영향

This study investigated influence of organic fiber type and contents on engineering properties of concrete. Test showed that increase of fiber contents decreased fluidity of fresh concrete and it was even worse in concrete adding cellulose fiber. It is decided that concrete containing more than proper level of fiber should be considered. In addition, concrete adding more fiber, nylon and cellulose, resulted in increase of air content but it was satisfied in aimed value. Bleeding capacity of concrete containing more fiber significantly declined and setting time of that was also slightly retarded. For the properties of strength, both compressive and tensile strength of fiber containing concrete were indicated at similar value to control concrete. However, it is clear that if those concrete containing fiber revised the value of increased air contents at fresh state, the strength value of that would be slightly increased.
