Evaluation on Mechanical Properties of Organic of Fiber Reinforced Concrete Using Macro Forta Fiber

Abstract

Concrete is a semi-brittle material, so its compressive strength is high but its tensile strength is low. The use of fiber-reinforced concrete to improve the disadvantages of such concrete can be an effective way to toughen effective toughness, and the performance is improved by using steel fiber reinforced concrete for structures that are vulnerable to bending forces. However, alternative materials are required due to corrosion of steel fiber and lowering of workability. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the availability of replacing steel fiber reinforced concrete by evaluating physical properties, mechanical properties and drying shrinkage properties of concrete using macro forta fiber with excellent diffusibility. Experimental results show that the macro forta fiber has better fluidity and mechanical performance than the steel fiber reinforced concrete. It was also confirmed that the crack resistance of concrete using Macro Forta fiber is effective in improving structural cracking and drying shrinkage resistance compared to steel fiber reinforced concrete.

Deflection Estimation Based on the Thermal Characteristics of Composite Deck Slabs Containing Macro-Synthetic Fibers

“…The macro-synthetic fiber was used by mixing twisted and fibrillated fiber types in a ratio of approximately 9:1 [ 2 ]. Because macro-synthetic fibers have extremely hydrophobic properties because of their chemical structure, their agglomeration is less than that of other fibers when concrete is mixed [ 22 , 23 ]. In previous research, the mixed fibers presented even rougher and more irregular surfaces due to the abrasion caused by the mixing with the aggregates.…”
