This report is the results of an experimental study on the relative effectiveness of different types of steel fiber in concrete. The fibers considered in the study were straight-indent and hooked-collated with aspect ratios of about 50~100. A fiber volume of 0~2 percent was used throughout this investigation. The fresh fibrous mixes were characterized by the slump and vebe-time, and the hardened materials by their compressive and flexural load-deflection relationships. Hooked fibers were found to be more effective than straight ones in improving the strength and energy absorption of concrete.

Shrinkage and creep are the fundamental properties of concrete. These long term deformations can be seen as bothersome(increased deflection) or can be seen as reduction of compressive stress of prestressed concrete. Steel fibers advance the mechanical properties of concrete:tensile strength, ductility, flexural strength, fracture toughness, and post-cracking resistance, etc...Silica fume is pozzolanic material which combines with hydrated lime to generate silicate materials which increase the compressive strength and reduce somewhat the creep of concrete. This paper is the result of the long-term deformation by silica fume and steel fibers with varying percentages.

This paper presents a comparative evaluation of eight different types of steel fibers used as reinforcing material in concrete beams. The fibers which used ultra-strength steel fiber reinforced concrete were fiber length of 30 to 60mm, aspect ratio of 43 to 86, W/B ratio 0.16 to 0.30, fiber types of both ends hooked and straight shape and fiber volume fraction of 1 to 5$\%$. As for the test results, it estimated the influence of fiber volume, length and aspect ratio on the mechanical properties of high toughness concrete, the mechanical properties improved according to increase fiber volume, to increase aspect ratio and to long fiber length. And the resonable fiber volume in high toughness concrete was analyzed 2$\%$ based on the results of mechanical properties.

본 연구에서는 시공성 향상을 위해 데크플레이트와 비정질강섬유 콘크리트를 적용하여 현장 무배근 슬래브 시스템을 연구하였다. 제안한 슬래브에서는 온도철근을 강섬유로 대체하였다. 본 연구는 연속슬래브에서 상부 철근이 연속되지 않는 경우 슬래브의 상부 균열 제어를 주로 고려하였다. 실험변수로 비정질강섬유 혼입량, 강섬유 종류, 데크플레이트 종류, 연속구간의 철근 이음을 고려하였으며, 수직하중을 받는 2경간 슬래브를 실험하였다. 슬래브의 균열저항성능을 평가하기 위하여 연속슬래브의 하중에 따른 균열폭을 계측하였다. 실험결과, 상부 이음철근을 사용하지 않더라도 합성슬래브의 높은 휨강성으로 인하여 균열을 억제할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

TBM 터널 세그먼트의 철근량을 감소시키기 위한 연구로서, 강섬유 보강콘크리트의 사용이 시도되고 있다. 이와 같은 터널 세그먼트에는 철근의 감소로 인해 필요한 인장성능의 확보를 위하여 숏크리트에 사용되는 강섬유에 비해 매우 높은 형상비의 강섬유를 활용하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 강섬유의 형상비가 80인 강섬유 콘크리트의 인장특성을 휨시험과 Double Punch Test를 통해 평가하였다. 휨시험결과, 사용된 강섬유의 충분한 부착강도로 인해 30%~150%의 강도 증진을 나타냈으며, 오영훈(2008)의 예측식을 통한 휨인장강도예측이 가능한 것으로 판단된다. 이 실험을 근거로 설계에 필요한 직접인장강도를 ACI와 RILEM의 식에 의해 평가한 결과, 적용기준에 따라 큰 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, DPT 실험을 통해 RILEM에서 권고하고 있는 직접인장강도의 정밀도 있는 예측이 가능한 것으로 판단된다.

섬유를 콘크리트의 보강재로 소량 혼입한 섬유 보강 콘크리트는 콘크리트의 인장저항 능력과 연성능력을 향상시킬 수 있다. 최근에는 강섬유의 적용성이 확대됨에 따라 강섬유 길이의 연장을 통해 보강의 효과를 증대시키고 있다. 섬유의 길이 연장은 동일한 시공성과 품질성을 위해 섬유 혼입률을 동시에 감소시킬 필요가 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 35mm, 60mm 길이의 강섬유와 화학적인 안정성과 내구성, 경제성 등이 우수한 보강 재료로 평가되어지고 있는 폴리프로필렌 섬유에 대해 섬유혼입률 1.0% 이하에서의 휨 성능을 평가하였다. 강섬유 혼입률이 0.25% 이상, 폴리프로필렌 섬유는 혼입률 0.5% 이상에서 균열강도 도달 후 취성 파괴되는 무보강보의 파괴거동을 개선하는 효과가 나타났다. 다만, 폴리프로필렌 섬유가 혼입된 보강 콘크리트는 균열 이후 deflection-softening 거동을 보였다. 그러나, 0.5%이상의 폴리프로필렌이 혼입된 보강보는 균열 이후 최대강도가 균열강도의 약 60~80%정도 강도회복을 보였으며, 강섬유에 비해 균열 이후 응력감소현상을 지연시키는 경향이 뛰어난 것으로 판단된다. 결론적으로 폴리프로필렌 보강콘크리트는 0.75% 혼입률 이상에서는 충분히 만족할 만한 구조적 휨 성능 향상을 보일 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 특히, 폴리프로필렌 1.0% 보강 콘크리트의 에너지 흡수 성능은 0.5%, 0.75%가 혼입된 강섬유 보강 콘크리트의 에너지 흡수성능과 거의 비슷한 것으로 평가되었다.

The complete stress-strain behavior of steel fiber reinforced concrete in compression is needed for the analysis and design of structures. An experimental investigation was carried out to generate the complete stress-strain curve of high-performance steel fiber reinforced concrete (HPSFRC) with a strength range of 52-80 MPa. The variation in concrete strength was achieved by varying the water-to-cementitious materials ratio of 0.40-0.25 and steel fiber content (Vf = 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% with l/d = 80 and 55) in terms of fiber reinforcing parameter, at 10% silica fume replacement. The effects of these parameters on the shape of stress-strain curves are presented. Based on the test data, a simple model is proposed to generate the complete stress-strain relationship for HPSFRC. The proposed model has been found to give good correlation with the stress-strain curves generated experimentally. Inclusion of fibers into HPC improved the ductility considerably. Equations to quantify the effect of fibers on compressive strength, strain at peak stress and toughness of concrete in terms of fiber reinforcing index are also proposed, which predicted the test data quite accurately. Compressive strength prediction model was validated with the strength data of earlier researchers with an absolute variation of 2.1%.

Fifteen concrete specimens were mixed and tested to explore the significance and limitation of appling the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber and steel fiber with end hook to concrete. Main parameters investigated were volume fraction and length of the fibers. The measured mechanical properties of fiber reinforced concrete are analyzed according to the equivalent fiber amount index explaining the adding amount and length of fibers. Test results showed that compressive strength of fiber reinforced concrete was higher than that of concrete with no fiber by $10{\sim}20%$. The normalized splitting tensile strength and flexural strength of PVA fiber reinforced concrete were similar to those of concrete with no fiber, whereas those of steel fiber reinforced concrete increased with the increase of the equivalent fiber amount index. In particular, much higher ductile behavior was observed in steel fiber reinforced concrete than in PVA reinforced concrete, indicating that the slope of descending branch of load-displacement relationship of steel fiber reinforced concrete decreased with the increase of the volume fraction and length of the fiber.

Electrical resistivity is a property associated with both the physical and chemical characteristics of concrete. It allows the evaluation of the greater or lesser difficulty with which aggressive substances penetrate the concrete's core before the dissolution of the passive film process and the consequent reinforcement's corrosion begin. This work addresses the steel fiber addition to concrete with two types and various contents from 0% to 1.3%, correlating it with its electrical resistivity. To that effect, 9 different mixes of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) were produced. The electrical resistivity was evaluated on the on six years aged SFRC by direct measurement at different frequency from 0.1 kHz to 100 kHz. The results indicate that steel fiber content is strongly conditioned by the type and quantity of the additions used. It was also found that long type of fibers has more effect on decreasing the electrical resistivity of concrete than short fibers. Therefore, they increase the corrosion risk of concrete depending on fiber volume fraction and moisture percentage.

Making a transverse opening in concrete beams in order to accommodate utility services through the member instead of below or above of that, sometimes may be necessary. It is obvious that inclusions of an opening in a beam decreases its flexural and shear strengths. Fabricated steel bars are usually used to increase the capacity of the opening section, but details of reinforcements around the opening are dense and complex resulting in laborious pouring and setup process. The goal of this study was to investigate the possibility of using steel fibers in concrete mixture instead of complex reinforcement detailing order to strengthen opening section. Nonlinear finite element method was employed to investigate the behavior of steel fiber reinforced concrete beams. The numerical models were validated by comparison with experimental measurements tested by other investigators and then used to study the influence of fiber length, fiber aspect ratio and fiber content on the shear performance of SFRC slender beams with opening. Finally, it was concluded that the predicted shear strength enhancement is considerably influenced by use of steel fibers in concrete mixture but the effect of fiber length and fiber aspect ratio wasn't significant.
