The mechanical properties of steel fiber reinforced high strength concrete (SFRHSC) made with binary and ternary blends of metakaolin (MK) and ground pumice (GP) are investigated in this study. The investigated properties are ultrasonic pulse velocity ($U_{pv}$), compressive strength ($f_c$), flexural strength ($f_f$) and splitting tensile strength ($f_{st}$) of SFRHSC. A total of 16 steel fiber reinforced concrete mixtures were produced by a total binder content of $500kg/m^3$ for determining the effects of MK and GP on the mechanical properties. The design $f_c$ was acquired from 70 to 100 MPa by using a low water-binder ratio of 0.2. The test results exhibit that high strength concrete can be obtained by replacing the cement with MK and GP. Besides, correlations between these results are executed for comprehending the relationship between mechanical properties of SFRHSC and the strong correlations are observed between these properties. Moreover, two models in the gene expression programming (GEP) for predicting the $f_c$ of SFRHSC made with binary and ternary blends of MK and GP have been developed. The results obtained from these models are compared with the experimental results. These comparisons proved that the results of equations obtained from these models seem to agree with the experimental results.

Compressive property of high strength concrete with amorphous metal fibers subject to high temperature has been investigated. The measure of this investigation includes explosive spalling, weight loss, residual compressive strength, strain at peak stress, elastic modulus, and residual energy absorption capacity after exposure to $400^{\circ}C$, $600^{\circ}C$and $800^{\circ}C$. In addition to the amorphous metal fiber, two other types of fibers (polypropylene fiber and hooked-end steel fiber) were also included in this investigation for comparison. The experimental program was conducted with high strength concrete using several combinations of the fiber types. The testing result shows that the concrete with amorphous metal fibers plus polypropylene fibers shows a superior behavior than those using other combination or single fiber type ingredient.

The paper presents an experimental and theoretical study on the influence of steel fibers and longitudinal tension and compression reinforcements on immediate and long-term deflections of high-strength concrete beams of 85 MPa (12,300 psi) compressive, strength. Test results of eighteen beams subjected to sustained load for 180 days show that the deflection behavior depends on the longitudinal tension and compression reinforcement ratios and fiber content; excessive amount of compression reinforcement and fibers may have an unfavorable effect on the long-term deflections. The beams having the ACI Code's minimum longitudinal tension reinforcement showed much higher time-dependent deflection to immediate deflection ratio, when compared with that of the beams having about 50 percent of the balanced tension reinforcement. The results of theoretical analysis of tested beams and those of a parametric study show that the influence of steel fibers in increasing the moment of inertia of cracked transformed sections is most pronounced in beams having small amount of longitudinal tension reinforcement.

본 연구에서는 섬유종류에 따른 인발특성과 섬유보강 콘크리트의 휨특성에 대하여 평가하기 위하여, 섬유의 재질 및 형상 다른 후크형 강섬유, 비정질 강섬유 및 폴리아미드 섬유에 대하여 인발시험과 섬유보강 콘크리트 시험체를 제작하여 휨특성을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 후크형 강섬유의 경우 최대인발하중에서 섬유가 매트릭스로부터 인발되었지만, 비정질 강섬유는 섬유와 매트릭스의 부착강도가 섬유자체의 인장강도보다 높아 섬유가 매트릭스로부터 인발되지 않고 파괴되는 현상을 나타내었다, 한편, 폴리아미드 섬유는 연신율에 의해 최대인발 하중까지 변위가 크게 발생하였으며, 최대하중이후에 섬유가 끊어지는 파괴특성을 나타내었다. 섬유보강 콘크리트의 휨특성에 있어서 비정질 강섬유는 매트릭스와의 부착강도가 높고, 섬유의 혼입개체수가 많아 콘크리트의 최대휨강도는 높았지만, 균열발생 이후 섬유가 매트릭스로부터 인발되지 않고 섬유가 파괴되는 것에 의해 응력의 저하가 급격하게 발생하지만, 후크형 강섬유보강 콘크리트는 균열발생 이후 섬유가 인발되면서 응력의 저하가 완만하게 발생하였다. 폴리아미드 섬유보강 콘크리트는 균열발생이후 섬유의 연신률에 의해 응력이 급격하게 저하하는 구간이 발생하였으며, 섬유와 매트릭스의 부착에 의해 재상승하였다가 섬유가 끊어지면서 파괴되었다. 섬유와 매트릭스의 인발특성은 섬유보강 콘크리트의 휨강도 및 변형 능력에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다.

이 연구에서는 강섬유 보강 초고성능 콘크리트 보의 전단거동를 파악하기 위한 실험연구를 수행하였다. I-형 단면을 갖는 단순지지 6개의 보 부재에 대해 3점하중 정적재하실험을 수행하여 전단 거동 특성을 분석하였다. 부재의 실험변수는 강섬유 혼입량과 전단지간-유효깊이 비이다. 강섬유 혼입량은 1.0, 1.5 및 2.0%로 변화하였고, 전단지간-유효깊이 비는 2.5 및 3.4로 변화하였다. 실험결과는 강섬유량이 증가할수록 극한전단강도가 증가하고, 전단지간-유효깊이 비가 증가할수록 극한전단강도가 감소하는 것을 나타낸다. 실험결과를 이용하여 기존 강섬유 보강 콘크리트 보의 전단강도 예측식의 적합성을 평가하고자 하였다. 전단강도 실험값을 기존의 제안식에 의한 전단강도 예측값과 비교하였으며, 비교결과는 예측식의 유효성을 나타내고 있다. AFGC와 JSCE의 제안식에 의한 전단강도 예측 평균값이 실험값에 거의 근접하고 있으며, 예측식 중에서 이들 제안식의 정확도가 가장 높은 것으로 나타난다.

Generally, normal concrete has the disadvantages of low tensile strength, low ductility and volume instability. To improve its performance, fiber reinforced cimentitious composite(FRCC) have been development. These composites are composed of cement, sand, water, a small amount of admixtures, and an optimal amount of fiber like synthetic fiber and steel fiber. This research investigates influence of sand, hybrid fiber and fiber volume fraction, and reports the test results of mechanical properties, fracture behavior and failure pattern of the FRCC. Our experiment was observed that sand mixed FRCC has lower compressive strength and higher bending strength than no sand mixed FRCC, and more steel fiber mixed FRCC has higher compressive strength and bending strength. Hybrid FRCC of steel and polypropylene had superior properties than FRCC of polypropylene only in same fiber volume fraction.

Over last decade extensive researches have been undertaken on the strength behaviour of Fiber Reinforced Concrete(FRC) structures. But the use of Ultra-High Strength Steel Fiber Cementitious Concrete Composites is in its infancy and there is a few experiments, analysis method and design criteria on the structural elements constructed with this new generation material which compressive strength is over 150 MPa and characteristic behaviour on the failure status is ductile. The objective of this paper is to investigate and analyze the behaviour of reinforced rectangular structural members constructed with ultra high performance cementitious composites (UHPCC). This material is known as reactive powder concrete (RPC) mixed with domestic materials and its compressive strength is over 150MP. The variables of test specimens were shear span ratio, reinforcement ratio and fiber quantity. Even if there were no shear stirrups in test specimens, most influential variable to determine the failure mode between shear and flexural action was proved to be shear span ratio. The characteristics of ultra high-strength concrete is basically brittle, but due to the steel fiber reinforcement behaviour of this structure member became ductile after the peak load. As a result of the test, the stress block of compressive zone could be defined. The proposed analytical calculation of internal force capacity based by plastic analysis gave a good prediction for the shear and flexural strength of specimens. The numerical verification of the finite element model which constitutive law developed for Mode I fracture of fiber reinforced concrete correctly captured the overall behaviour of the specimens tested.

The production of ultra-early-strength concrete (UESC) traditionally involves complexity or necessitates high-temperature curing conditions. However, this study aimed to achieve ultra-early-strength performance solely through room-temperature curing. Experimental results demonstrate that under room-temperature (28℃) curing conditions, the concrete attained compressive strengths of 20 MPa at 4 hours and 69.6 MPa at 24 hours. Additionally, it exhibited a flexural strength of 7.5 MPa after 24 hours. In contrast, conventional concrete typically reaches around 20.6 MPa (3,000 psi) after approximately 28 days, highlighting the rapid strength development of the UESC. This swift attainment of compressive strength represents a significant advancement for engineering purposes. Small amounts of steel fibers (0.5% and 1% by volume, respectively) were added to address potential concrete cracking due to early hydration heat and enhance mechanical properties. This allowed observation of the effects of different volume contents on ultra-early-strength fiber-reinforced concrete (UESFRC). Furthermore, the compressive strength of 0.5% and 1% UESFRC increased by 16.3% and 31.3%, respectively, while the flexural strength increased by 37.1% and 47.9%. Moreover, toughness increased by 58.2 and 69.7 times, respectively. These findings offer an effective solution for future emergency applications in public works.

콘크리트는 반취성 재료로서 우수한 압축력을 갖는 소재이나 인장력은 취약한 단점이 있다. 이러한 콘크리트의 단점을 개선하기 위한 섬유 보강 콘크리의 사용은 효과적인 인성강화에 대한 효과적인 방안이 될 수 있으며, 휨인성에 취약한 구조체에는 강섬유 보강 콘크리트를 사용함으로 성능을 개선하고 있다. 그러나 강섬유의 부식과 시공성 저하의 문제로 인해 대체 소재의 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 확산성이 우수한 매크로 포타섬유를 사용한 콘크리트의 굳지 않은 콘크리트의 특성과 물리적 특성 및 건조수축 특성을 평가함으로 강섬유의 대체 가능성을 평가하고자 하였다. 실험 결과, 매크로 포타섬유는 강섬유 보강 콘크리트와 비교하였을 때 유동성 향상 및 역학적 성능이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 매크로 포타 섬유를 사용한 콘크리트의 균열 저항성 부분에서도 강섬유 보강 콘크리트에 비하여 구조적인 균열과 건조 수축 저항성을 개선하는데 효과적인 것을 확인하였다.
