강섬유는 콘크리트에 비해 연성적인 거동, 우수한 균열제어 성능 및 전단보강 성능 때문에 최근 보강재 또는 합성재로 주목 받고 있다. 특히, 강섬유 혼입에 따른 전단강도의 증진 효과 때문에 이 분야에 대한 상당한 실험적 연구들이 진행되었다. 그러나 강섬유 보강 콘크리트 부재의 복잡한 전단거동은 여전히 명확히 이해되고 있지 않으며, 실험 데이터도 아직 부족한 편이다. 따라서, 이 연구에서는 강섬유를 혼입한 콘크리트 휨 부재 4개를 제작하여 전단실험을 수행하여 강섬유의 전단보강 효율성을 평가하고자 하였다. 실험결과, 강섬유의 혼입율이 증가할수록 부재의 전단성능이 향상됨을 확인하였다.

This study investigates the behavior of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) with hybrid macro-micro steel and macro steel-polypropylene (PP) fibers. Compression, direct and indirect tension tests were carried out on cubic and cylindrical, dogbone and prismatic specimens, respectively. Three types of macro steel fibers, i.e., round crimped (RC), crimped (C), and hooked (H) were combined with micro steel (MS) and PP fibers in overall ratios of 2% by volume. Additionally, numerical analyses were performed to validate the test results. Parameters studied included, fracture energy, tensile strength, compressive strength, flexural strength, and residual strength. Tests showed that replacing PP fibers with MS significantly improves all parameters particularly flexural strength (17.38 MPa compared to 37.71 MPa). Additionally, the adopted numerical approach successfully captured the flexural load-deflection response of experimental beams. Lastly, the proposed regression model for the flexural load-deflection curve compared very well with experimental results, as evidenced by its coefficient of correlation (R²) of over 0.90.

In this study, effect of steel fibers on toughness and some mechanical properties of concrete were investigated. Hooked-end steel fibers were used in concrete samples with three volume fractions (${\nu}_f$) of 0.5%, 0.75% and 1% and for two aspect ratios (l/d) of 45 and 65. Compressive and flexural tensile strength and modulus of elasticity of concrete were determined for cylindrical, cubic and prismatic samples at the age of 7 and 28 days. The stress-strain curves of standard cylindrical specimens were studied to determine the effect of steel fibers on toughness of steel-fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC). In addition, the relationship between compressive strength and the flexural tensile strength of SFRC were reported. Finally, a simple model was proposed to generate the stress-strain curves for SFRC based on strains corresponding to the peak compressive strength and 60% of peak compressive stress. The proposed model was shown to provide results in good correlation with the experimental results.

The aim of the current work is to describe the flexural behaviour of simply supported concrete beams with tension reinforcement spliced at mid-span. The parameters included in the study were the type of the concrete, the splice length and the configuration of the hooked splice. Fifteen beams were cast using an ordinary concrete mix and two fiber reinforced concrete mixes incorporating steel and polypropylene fibers. Each concrete mix was used to cast five beams with continuous, spliced and hooked spliced tension steel bars. A test beam was reinforced on the tension side with two 12 mm bars and the splice length was 20 and 40 times the bar diameter. The hooked bars were spliced along 20 times the bar diameter and provided with 45-degree and 90-degree hooks. The test results in terms of cracking and ultimate loads, cracking patterns, ductility, and failure modes are reported. The results demonstrated the consequences due to short splices and the improvement in the structural behaviour due to the use of hooks and the confinement provided by the steel and polypropylene fibers.

An experimental work was carried out to study the effect of hybrid fiber on the tension stiffening and cracking characteristics of geopolymer concrete (GPC). A total of 24 concentrically reinforced concrete specimens were cast and tested under uniaxial tension. The grade of concrete considered was M40. The variables mainly consist of the volume fraction of crimped steel fibers (0.5 and 1.0%) and basalt fibers (0.1, 0.2 and 0.3%). The load deformation response was recorded using LVDT's. At all the stages of loading after the first cracking, crack width and crack spacing were measured. The addition of fibers in hybrid form significantly improved the tension stiffening effect. In this study, the combination of 0.5% steel fiber and 0.2% basalt fiber gave a better comparison than the other combinations.

본 연구에서는 전자기장을 이용하여 일반몰탈과 스틸슬래그 몰탈 내부에 혼입되는 강섬유의 방향을 원주방향으로 배열시켰으며, 성능변화를 확인하기 위하여 Double Punch 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과, 전자기장을 이용하여 강섬유를 원주방향으로 배열하는 것이 가능한 것으로 확인되었다. 전자기장 노출로 인한 강섬유의 배열조정에 따라 인장강도와 파괴 시 변형도 유의미한 증가를 보였다. 반면 파괴에너지는 거의 증가하지 않았다. 전자기장이 영향을 미쳐 강섬유의 배열이 조정되는 구간이 크지 않은 문제와 사용한 강섬유가 직선으로 되어 있어 균열성장을 억제하는데 한계가 있었던 것으로 판단된다. 이와 같은 문제를 보완한 추가연구가 필요하다.

This paper investigates the effects of aspect ratio and volume fraction of hooked-end normal-strength steel fibers on the compressive and flexural properties of high-strength concrete with specified compressive strength of 60 MPa. Three types of hooked-end steel fibers with aspect ratios of 64, 67 and 80 were considered and three volume fractions of 0.25%, 0.50% and 0.75% for each steel fiber were respectively added into each high-strength concrete mixture. The test results indicated that the addition of normal-strength steel fibers is effective to improve compressive and flexural properties of high-strength concrete but fiber aspect ratio had little effect on the modulus of elasticity and compressive strength. As steel fiber content and aspect ratio increased, flexural beahvior of notched high-strength concrete beams was effectively improved.

Steel fiber reinforced concrete(SFRC) is a composite material possessing many physical and mechanical properties which are distinct from unreinforced concrete. The use of steel fiber reinforcement to improve the flexural and tensile strengths, extensibility and toughness of ordinary cement concrete is well known at present, but reinforcement of polymer concrete with steel fibers has been hardly reported untill now. The objective of this study was to improve the properties of the polymer concrete by addition of steel fibers. In this paper steel fiber reinforced polymer concrete is prepared with various steel fiber contents and aspect ratio($\ell$ /d), and their mechanical properties were investigated experimentally.

This article aims to study the effects of adding steel fibers to concrete on the mechanical behavior of steel fiber concrete (SFC) slabs. After formulating the SFC, an experimental work was, first, conducted on $160\;{\times}\;320$ mm cylindrical specimens and $70\;{\times}\;70\;{\times}\;280$ mm prisms. Then, this study was carried out on 20 rectangular $1,100\;{\times}\;1,100\;{\times}\;60$ mm small slabs submitted to a distributed load. Two types of fibers with hooked ends were used: long fibers (LF) of a length of 50 mm and short fibers (SF) of a length of 35 mm. The studied parameters are compressive and tensile strengths and Young's modulus. Plain concrete (PC) small slabs were also prepared to be compared to the SFC specimens. The results showed that the compressive strength of SFC increased up to 25% while the splitting tests showed an improvement of the SFC reaching 45%. Tests on SFC small slabs also showed that a smaller deflection is obtained with respect to PC, which indicates an improvement in strength (up to 100%), in ductility and in resistance to cracking. The LF gives a better improvement in strength than the SF for a 70% $kg/m^3$ of steel proportioning.

본 논문에서는 철근콘크리트 부재에 강섬유를 혼입하였을때의 역학적 겅동에 관하여 이론 및 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 포괄적인 실험연구를 수행하였으며, 단철근 콘크리트 보와 복철근 콘크리트 보에 대하여 강섬유의 혼입효과를 규명하였다. 본 실험으로부터 하중-처짐관계, 균열폭, 균열간격, 균열형상, 철근 및 콘크리트 변형도를 측정하였다. 실험결과 강섬유의 혼입으로 인하여 균열이 크게 역제되고 균열폭이 크게 감소함을 발견하였다. 또한, 부재의 연성과 극한저항모멘트가 크게증가하였다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 강섬유의 혼입효과를 설명할 수 있는 이론모델을 유도하여 제시하였으며, 앞으로 강섬유콘크리트는 연성을 필요로하는 내진구조물등에 효율적으로 이용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
