Since the mechanical properties of cement-based materials are time-dependent due to the prolonged cement hydration process, those of fiber reinforced concrete(FRC) may also be time-dependent. Toughness is one of important properties of FRC. Therefore, it should be investigated toughness development of FRCs with curing ages to fully understand the time-dependent characteristics of FRCs. To this end, the effect of curing ages on flexural toughness development of steel fiber reinforced concrete is studied. Three point bending test with notched beam specimen was adapted for this study. Hooked-end steel fiber(DRAMIX 40/30) was used as a fiber ingredient to investigate w/c ratio and fiber volume fraction effect on toughness development during curing. Three different water-cement ratios(0.44, 0.5 and 0.6) and fiber volume fractions(0%, 0.5% and 1%) were used as influence factors. Each mixture specimens were tested at five different ages, 0.5, 1, 3, 7 and 28 days. The study shows that flexure toughness development with age is quite different than other concrete material properties such as compressive strength. The study also shows that the toughness development trend correlates more closely to water/cement ratio than to fiber volume fraction.

This paper aims to model the effects of five different variables which includes: cement content (C), the steel fiber amount (F), the silica fume amount (SF), the superplasticizer (SP), the silica fume amount (SF), and the water to cementitious ratio (w/c) on 28 days flexural toughness of Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) as well as, a study on the variable interactions and correlations by using analyze of variance (ANOVA) and response surface methodology (RSM). The variables were compared by fine aggregate mass. The model will be valid for the mixes with 0.18 to 0.32 w/c ratio, 4 to 8 percent steel fiber, 7 to 13 percent cement, 15 to 30 percent silica fume, and 4 to 8 percent superplasticizer by fine aggregate mass.

Flexural strength fracture toughness and strengthening mechanisms of cordierite ceramics reinforced by SiC whiskers up to 40vol% were investigated. The specimens were hot pressed at Ar atmosphere. The porosity increased with the SiC whisker content. Flexural strength and single edge notch beam fracture toughness were measured up to 1,000$^{\circ}C$. Extrapolating to zero porosity the reinforced composites exhibited in-creasings in flexural strength and fracture toughness with the SiC whisker content. The composites were strengthened mainly by load transfer crack impediment and partially by crack deflection mechanisms. Impurities played an important role in determining the mechanical properties of the composites.

This paper reviewed various methods of evaluating the toughness of fiber reinforced concrete materials by means of toughness indices and discussed the use of various multiples of first-crack deflection or first-crack secant compliance to define toughness indices. And a new method what is called effective toughness used to evaluate the toughness of steel fiber reinforced concrete. The proposed method determinded from the area below the load-deflection curve until deflection at the loading point becoms 1/150 of the span devided by the ligament area.

The brittleness of concrete can be overcome by fiber reinforcement that controls the crack mechanisms of concrete. Corrosion-related durability issues can be prevented by synthetic fibers (SFs), while macro synthetic fibers have proven to be particularly effective to provide ductility and toughness after cracks. This experimental study has been performed to investigate the comparative flexural and mechanical behavior of four different macro-synthetic fiber-reinforced concretes (SFRCs). Two polyamide fibers (SF1 and SF2) with different aspect ratios and two different polypropylene fiber types (SF3 and SF4) were used in production of SFRCs. Four different SFRCs and reference concrete were compared for their influences on the toughness, compressive strength, elastic modulus, flexural strength, residual strength and splitting tensile strength. The outcomes of the study reveal that the flowability of reference mixture decreases after addition of SFs and the air voids of all SFRC mixtures increased with the addition of macro-synthetic fibers except SFRC2 mixture whose air content is the same as the reference mixture. The results also revealed that with the inclusion of SFs, 11.34% reduction in the cube compressive strength was noted for SFRC4 based on that of reference specimens and both reference concrete and SFRC exhibited nearly similar cylindrical compressive strength. Results illustrated that SFRC1 and SFRC4 mixtures consistently provide the highest and lowest flexural toughness values of 36.4 joule and 27.7 joule respectively. The toughness values of SFRC3 and SFRC4 are very near to each other.

인장에 취약한 단점을 가지고 있는 시멘트계 복합재료인 모르타르와 콘크리트의 인장성능을 보강하기 위한 다양한 방법이 사용되고 있으며, 주요한 한가지 방법으로 인장에 강한 섬유를 혼입하는 섬유보강 콘크리트가 꾸준히 연구사용되어 왔다. 최근에는 재료의 균질성(homogeneous)을 높이고 보강재로 사용되는 섬유의 성능을 최대한 이끌어내기 위하여 굵은 골재를 제거하고 마이크로 섬유를 사용하는 마이크로 섬유보강 모르타르에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 마이크로 섬유보강 모르타르는 배합조건에 따라서 다중균열이 발생하기 때문에 성능평가의 지표로써 휨인성 만을 사용하기에는 부족함이 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 마이크로 섬유보강 모르타르의 휨인성과 균열 특성을 고찰하여, 균열특성을 나타낼 수 있는 측정치에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 실험에는 PVA섬유와 강섬유가 사용되었으며, 휨실험을 통하여 섬유의 종류 및 혼입량에 따른 휨인성과 균열관련 측정치의 상관관계를 규명하였다. 그 결과 마이크로 섬유보강 모르타르의 특성을 대표할 수 있는 측정치로는 휨인성과 섬유혼입량, 그리고 균열개수 등이 적절한 것으로 나타났다.

The reinforcing effects of ductile short-fiber reinforced brittle matrix composites are studied by, measuring flexural strength, fracture toughness and impact energy as functions of fiber volume fraction and length. The parameters of fracture mechanics, K and J are applied to assess fracture toughness and bridging stress. It is found that fracture toughness is greatly, influenced by the bridging stress ill which fiber pull-out is occur. For the reinforcing effects as functions of fiber volume fraction($V_f$ = 1, 2, 3 %) and length(L = 3, 6. 10cm), the flexural strength is maximum at $V_f$ = 1% and both fracture toughness.

In this study, in regard to fiber reinforced mortar mixing steel fiber and 4types of organic fiber, impact test was carried out. Because to predict fracture reduction performance with flexural, tensile strength when types of fiber were different as impact reduction performance of concrete is closely related with toughness such as flexural strength, tensile strength and fracture energy etc. As a result, enhancement of toughness by fiber reinforcement controls the spall of rear. On the other hand in case of steel fiber relatively turned up high toughness in appropriate load compared with organic fiber but in same mixing rate, impact reduction performance by projectile showed low performance due to few number of an individual of mixing.

The aim of this study is to investigate the flexural performance of hybrid fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete (HFRSCC) having different ratio of micro and macro steel fiber. A total of five mixtures are prepared. In all mixtures, the sum of the steel fiber content is 1% and also water/binder ratio is kept constant. The amount of high range water reducer admixture (HRWRA) is arranged to satisfy the workability criteria of self-compacting concrete. Four-point bending test is carried out to analyze the flexural performance of the mixtures at 28 and 56 curing days. From the obtained load-deflection curves, the load carrying capacity, deflection and toughness values are investigated according to ASTM C1609, ASTM C1018 and JSCE standards. The mixtures containing higher ratio of macro steel fiber exhibit numerous micro-cracks and, thus, deflection-hardening response is observed. The mixture containing 1% micro steel fiber shows worst performance in the view of all flexural parameters. An improvement is observed in the aspect of toughness and load carrying capacity as the macro steel fiber content increases. The test results based on the standards are also compared taking account of abovementioned standards.
