When fiber reinforced concrete is manufactured, it is useful to utilize lathe scrap as an aiternative material of steel fiber, because it is not only economical as an by-product of steel manufactures, but also has a very similar composition to that of steel fiber. The purpose of this experimental research is to evaluate the compressive strength and tensile behavior and then propose a material model of lathe scrap reinforced mortar. For this purpose, the lathe scrap reinforced mortars were ma de a ccording to their tota l volume fra ction of 1.5 % for wa ter-binder ra tio of 30 % a nd 40 %, respectively, a nd then the mechanical properties such as compressive strength, direct tensile strength, and stress-strain curve of those were evaluated. Also, based on the experimental results of lathe scrap reinforced mortar the material model for tensile behavior was suggested. It was revealed that the experimental results and the proposed material model corresponded relatively well.

It should be noted that the use of the lathe scrap for making fiber reinforced cementitious composites raised friendly environmental effect as well as economy because the lathe scrap is a by-product of steel manefactures and is occurred when lathe and milling works of them are conducted to process steel manufactures. Thus, the purpose of this experimental research is to investigate workability and strength characteristics of lathe scrap reinforced cementitious composites(LSRCCs). For this purpose, three types of lathe scraps were collected from processing plants of metal, and then LSRCCs containing these were made for 2mm width and 40mm length. As a result, it was observed from the test results that the workability of LSRCCs was slightly decreased than plain mortar and the flexural strength of LSRCCs were much larger than these of plain mortar and effect of types of lathe scrap on the characteristics of LSRCCs were somewhat large.
