The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the effect of type and volume fraction of fiber on the electrical conductivity and shielding effectiveness of cementitious composites. The large specific surface area of amorphous metallic fiber, as well as the high number of fibers per unit weight, provided an advantage in the formation of conductive path. As the result, the electrical conductivity of amorphous metallic fiber was evaluated to be higher, and the shielding effectiveness was also higher. However, the shielding effectiveness according to electrical conductivity was confirmed to have a threshold point, and further research is needed to improve it.

The flexural performance of amorphous steel fibers having environmental and economy benefits due to relatively short manufacturing process were evaluated as well as that of hooked steel fibers by varing fiber length and volume fraction. Fiber lengths were 10 mm, 20 mm, 30 mm and fiber volume fractions were varied from 0.3% to 1.2%. Test results with flexural performance showed that mixing design needs to be careful because of relatively high volume of amorphous steel fiber compared to hooked steel fibers. High flexural strength was obtained from both longer fiber length and higher volume fraction. Residual strength and toughness of amorphous steel fiber were similar to that of hooked steel fiber, even though rapid dropping of applied load right after concrete matrix breaking. It can be judged that relatively high ability of energy dissipation around first cracking area relatively overcome rapid dropping of loading.

This study evaluated the effect of amorphous steel fibers on the spalling characteristics of high-strength concrete. with mix proportions of polypropylene (PP) fibers of 0.15% by concrete volume, and proportions of amorphous steel fibers of 0.3% and 0.5% by concrete volume. In the range of 0.3 vol% of amorphous steel fiber, the effect of suppression of the spalling and the prevention of degradation of strength was shown, but it was evaluated to be ineffective in the suppression of the spalling due to interferences in formation of pore network in the range of 0.5 vol.%.

Structural integrity of reinforced concrete structures including nuclear power plants needs to be evaluated on a regular basis. Deterioration inside the concrete structures can be represented by voids. In this study, the varied volume fraction of voids inside mortar specimens was studied as a parameter using ultrasonic testing equipments. Both direct and indirect measurement methods were employed. The results show that there is a clear distinction between the specimens with different void volume fractions.

In this paper, an experimental investigation of bond properties between steel fiber reinforced concrete and glass fiber reinforced polymer reinforcements was performed. The experimental variables were diameter of reinforcements, volume fraction of steel fiber, cover thickness and compressive strength of concrete. Bond failure mainly occurred with splitting of concrete cover. Main factor for splitting of concrete is tension force occurred by the displacement difference between reinforcements and concrete. Therefore, in order to prevent the bond failure between reinforcements and concrete, capacity of tensile strength of concrete cover should be upgraded. As a results of test, volume fraction of steel fiber significantly increases the bond strength. Cover thickness changes the failure mode. Diameter of reinforcements also changes the failure mode. Generally, diameter of reinforcement also affects the bond properties but this effect is not significant as volume fraction of fiber. Increase of compressive strength increases the bond strength between concrete and reinforcement because compressive strength of concrete directly affects the tensile strength of concrete.

Recently advanced countries are now beginning to use ACM (Advanced Composites Material), which is mostly used in the industry of airplane, ship building and sports equipments, in the construction industry. Compared with existing construction materials, ACM possesses many advantages such as light-weight, high-strength, corrosion resistant property. Among other manufacturing process of ACM, pultrusion is one of the promising one of civil engineering application. In this paper, the structural characteristics of pultruded GFRP strip were studied. Major parameters to influence structural behavior of pultruded GFRP are considered to be fiber volume fraction, die temperature, pulling speed and fiber orientations. The effect of these parameters are studied by experimently and analytically. From this study, it is concluded that fiber volume fraction and fiber orientations influence more on the mechanical property of pultruded GFRP. In addition to above parametric study, off-axis tests were carried out and the results are compared with failure theories. It showed that they agree well each other. Since this study is carried out in limited scope, further research on the reinforcement in the transverse direction, experiment on the compressive strength and research on the durability should be conducted for wide application of pultruded GFRP sections.

The aim of this study is to investigate the impact resistant performance of steel short fiber-reinforced cement based composites (SFRCCs) containing 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0% volume fraction of steel short fibers subjected to high velocity impact of steel projectile (the diameter of 19.05mm and the mass of 28.13g). The gunpowder impact facility was used for impact tests, and the impact velocity was from about 350 to 700m/s. The specimens were damaged in various failure modes, which are penetration, scabbing, and perforation. Comparing with Plain specimen, SFRCCs have superior capacity on the scabbing limit, and slightly bulged in the back side under the impact velocity of 700m/s. In addition, the impact resistant performance of SFRCCs improved with increase of steel short fiber volume ratio. The fibers play an important role in controlling the local damage of SFRCCs.

In this study, an experimental study was conducted to analyze the hysteresis behavior according to the steel fiber aspect ratio and volume fraction of diagonally reinforced concrete coupling beams under to cyclic loading. The aspect ratio and volume fraction of the steel fibers were set as the main variables, and 4 specimens were fabricated in which the amount of transverse reinforcement of the coupling beam suggested in the domestic building structural standard was relaxed by about 53%. In the experiment, cyclic loading experiments were performed in the displacement control method in accordance with ACI 374.2R-13, and as a result of the experiment, it was found that all specimens containing steel fibers exceeded the nominal shear strength suggested by the current structural standards. As the aspect ratio of the steel fibers increased, the steel fibers prevented the buckling of the diagonal reinforcement, and the bridging effect of the steel fibers held the crack surface of the concrete. The shear strength, stiffness reduction and energy dissipation capacity of the specimens containing steel fibers were superior to those of the Vf0 specimens without steel fibers. Therefore, it is judged that the steel fiber reinforced concrete can relieve the details of the transverse reinforced.

This paper evaluates experimentally the explosion proof of fiber reinforced cement composite(FRCC) panels with various fibers of 2 % volume fraction subjected to contact explosions using an emulsion explosive. As a results, the proportion of the total damage in FRCC panels is not biased scabbing on the rear side with contrast to plain panels, which means that the local damage of FRCC panels was significantly controlled. The experimental results presented useful information for prediction of limited thickness on the local damage subjected to contact explosions through comparison with existing damage evaluation prediction equations.

The unit quantity is an important factor influencing the durability, workability, and quality of concrete. Methods for measuring the unit quantity include a high frequency heating method, a unit volume mass method, a capacitance method, and a microwave method. However, these methods have disadvantages of poor measurement method, time required, and accuracy, and a relatively experimental method compensating for these disadvantages was used to measure the unit quantity using a high frequency main sensor (FDR) capable of simple and fast measurement. In addition, the unit quantity was evaluated by analyzing the measurement data through deep learning.
