Abstract:

SP44 A selectionof 29 papers on the properties and applications of fiber reinforced concrete by authors from 6 countries. Arranged in 2 general categories the first emphasizes the mechanics and properties of steel or glass reinforced concrete and mortar. The second describes developments in the application to pavements, block walls, and prefabrication of structural units.

Abstract:

Recent advances in the field of natural and man-made fibres have led to the development of fibre reinforced cement (fibrous-cement or f.r.c) composites with flexural properties far superior to cement paste or plain concrete. . .The test results show that profiled f.r.c. sheets considerably improve the structural performance of reinforced and partially prestressed composite beams.

Abstract:

Fiberglass surface bonding is a new block construction techinque. It involves dry stacking a concrete block wall without mortar in the joints between the block and, after the wall is erected, troweling a very thin coating of a cement-lime mixture reinforced with alkali resistant glass fibers on both sides of the wall. . .The data presented indicates the surface bonded wall results in improved physical properties and reduced installed cost.

Abstract:

Field experiments designed to evaluate the suitability and effectiveness of steel fibrous concrete as on overlay material for bridge decks, highway pavements, and airfield pavements have been carried out and others are planned. Although it will require many years before a complete assessment can be made of the performance of the experimental fibrous concrete overlays, the initial experiences and results have been encouraging.

Publication:

Symposium Papers

Volume:

44

Abstract:

An investigation has been made into the effect of several variables of steel fibers on the flexural strength of concrete. Data is presented which shows the effect of fiber length, diameter, shape and content on both first crack and ultimate strength in concrete. Additional data shows the results of two field applications.
