Effect of fiber type, shape and volume fraction on mechanical and flexural properties of concrete

Abstract: An experimental work was herein presented focusing the effect of different type, shape and volume fraction of fibers on the hardened properties of concrete including compressive, splitting tensile and flexural strengths at 7 and 28 curing days. A control concrete mixture including no fiber was prepared and six fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) mixtures were designed by using two different fiber types and volume fractions. Two types of steel fibers having different shapes (short straight and long hooked end) and … Show more

“…This can be attributed to the inability of the synthetic fibers to be dispersed homogenously in the SCC mixture and to agglomerate due to the low shearing effect of the mixer used in the preparation of the mixtures. In some studies [35][36][37][38][39], it was also determined that the use of PP and PVA fibers into concrete adversely affect the fresh properties of SCC mixtures. Thus, the decrease in the filling rate of the mixtures affected the fc of concrete negatively.…”
