Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses design aspects of steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) members, including the behavior of the SFRC and its modeling. It also examines the effect of various parameters governing the response of SFRC members in detail. Unlike other publications available in the form of guidelines, which mainly describe design methods based on experimental results, it describes the basic concepts and principles of designing structural members using SFRC as a structural material, predominantly subjected to flexure and shear. Although applications to special structures, such as bridges, retaining walls, tanks and silos are not specifically covered, the fundamental design concepts remain the same and can easily be extended to these elements. It introduces the principles and related theories for predicting the role of steel fibers in reinforcing concrete members concisely and logically, and presents various material models to predict the response of SFRC members in detail. These are then gradually extended to develop an analytical flexural model for the analysis and design of SFRC members. The lack of such a discussion is a major hindrance to the adoption of SFRC as a structural material in routine design practice. This book helps users appraise the role of fiber as reinforcement in concrete members used alone and/or along with conventional rebars. Applications to singly and doubly reinforced beams and slabs are illustrated with examples, using both SFRC and conventional reinforced concrete as a structural material. The influence of the addition of steel fibers on various mechanical properties of the SFRC members is discussed in detail, which is invaluable in helping designers and engineers create optimum designs. Lastly, it describes the generally accepted methods for specifying the steel fibers at the site along with the SFRC mixing methods, storage and transport and explains in detail methods to validate the adopted design. This book is useful to practicing engineers, researchers, and students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The promotion of steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) as a construction material for tunnel linings has prompted a number of researchers to focus on methods of evaluating their flexural strength and stiffness. This thesis presents the results of an experimental and numerical investigation of the flexural behaviour of full-scale steel fibre reinforced concrete tunnel lining segments. A series of a three-point flexure tests were performed to evaluate the maximum load carrying capacity, the load-deformation behaviour and crack propagation characteristics of these segments. The material properties of the steel fibre reinforced concrete were also studied, using both destructive and non-destructive methods. Element compression and tension tests were conducted to characterize the compressive and tensile strength properties of the SFRC. Additionally, computed tomographic scanning was conducted to analyse and estimate the density fraction and fibre orientation of the fibres in SFRC cores. Three-dimensional finite element analyses were conducted to calibrate a concrete damage plasticity constitutive model and provide better understanding of the segment flexural behaviour. The experimental program indicated that the variation in structural performance of the segments was likely due to an inhomogeneity of fibre distribution and orientation. Modifying the numerical model to account for these variations resulted in a more accurate analysis. Furthermore, from the numerical finite element analysis it was found that the non-linear elasto-plastic concrete damage plasticity model in the crack zone of the beam was mesh dependent. Parametric analyses also revealed that the model was particularly sensitive to small changes to the tensile material property input parameters.

This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental study was conducted to investigate the flexural behaviour of high strength normal and lightweight reinforced concrete beams with steel fibres. Three different mixtures were developed for each type of concrete with three different steel fibre volume ratios. The target compressive strength was 85 MPa. Material and structural experimental programs were performed. In the material investigation, twenty four prisms with dimensions of 100 mm × 100 mm × 400 mm and one hundred and twenty cylinders with dimensions of 100 mm × 200 mm were cast, cured and tested to determine the mechanical properties for all different mixtures. The investigated mechanical properties included the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, modulus of rupture and flexural toughness. In the structural investigation, a series of six high strength lightweight aggregate (LWAC) concrete reinforced beams and six high strength normal weight (NWC) reinforced concrete beams were cast and tested. The beams were 200 mm × 400 mm × 3200 mm and were simply supported on a clear span of 2900 mm. The main variables in this study were the concrete type (normal weight concrete and light weight aggregate concrete), steel fibre volume ratio, (0 %, 0.375%, 0.75%), and the longitudinal reinforcement ratio, (0.85%, 1.50%). The structural behaviour of the test beams was examined in terms of load-deflection behaviour, steel reinforcement strain, concrete strain, crack pattern, crack width, crack spacing, mode of failure and ultimate moment capacity. The test results revealed that the addition of steel fibres to high strength lightweight or normal weight concrete improved the mechanical properties. The compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and the modulus of rupture of fibrous LWAC and NWC concrete increased compared to the plain concrete. Adding steel fibre to both high strength normal and lightweight concrete increased both cracked and un-cracked stiffness in addition to increasing the ultimate flexural capacity. The steel fibres also enhanced the cracking behaviour for both NWC and LWAC beams, reduced the crack widths and increased the number of the cracks for both type of concrete. The LWAC beams developed more cracks but less cracks width compared to their identical NWC beams. The ductility indexes of fibrous and non-fibrous NWC beams were higher than the ductility indexes measured for the corresponding LWAC beams. For all fibre reinforced NWC and LWAC beams, CSA A23.3-14, ACI 318-08, EC2-04, and EC2-91 codes overestimated the maximum crack width due to the fact that these models do not consider the presence of steel fibres. The Rilem TC162-TDF was found to accurately predict the maximum crack width of fibrous NWC beams. However, the model was seen to be conservative when predicting the maximum crack width for fibrous LWAC beams.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the research project presented in this PhD-thesis, an innovative type of fibre concrete is developed, with improved both the tensile strength and the ductility: the Hybrid-Fibre Concrete (HFC). The expression "Hybrid" refers to the "hybridisation" of fibres: short and long steel fibres were combined together in one concrete mixture. This is opposite to conventional steel fibre concretes, which contain only one type of fibre. The basic goal of combining short and long fibres is from one side to improve the tensile strength by the action of short fibres, and from the other side to improve the ductility by the action of long fibres." "In this research project, all important aspects needed for the development and application of Hybrid-Fibre Concrete have been considered. In total 15 mixtures, with different types and amounts of steel fibres were developed and tested in the fresh state (workability) as well as in the hardened state (uniaxial tensile tests, flexural tests, pullout tests of single fibres and compressive tests). A new analytical model for bridging of cracks by fibres was developed and successfully implemented for tensile softening response of HFC. At the end, the utilisation of HFC in the engineering practice was discussed, including a case-study on light prestressed long-span beams made of HFC."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of fracture mechanics in resolving problems in the design of concrete structures is becoming more widely accepted and utilized as current codes cannot always be applied satisfactorily to design conditions. There is wide-ranging technical literature available on the subject but to date there is no readily accessible and systematic source to meet the needs of present practitioners and future designers. Fracture Mechanics and Structural Concrete addresses this need. The book provides a simple and straightforward study of fracture mechanics relating to concrete design and promotes its usage by highlighting the shortcomings of current design codes. It explains how fracture mechanics can overcome certain design problems, such as minimum reinforcement, punching shear failure and the influence of structural size upon shear capacity. Professional engineers, researchers and academics will find Fracture Mechanics and Structural Concrete an essential introduction to the subject. It will also be useful to postgraduate and final-year undergraduate students of civil engineering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected chapters from the German concrete yearbook are now being published in the new English "Beton-Kalender Series" for the benefit of an international audience. Since it was founded in 1906, the Ernst & Sohn "Beton-Kalender" has been supporting developments in reinforced and prestressed concrete. The aim was to publish a yearbook to reflect progress in "ferro-concrete" structures until - as the book's first editor, Fritz von Emperger (1862-1942), expressed it - the "tempestuous development" in this form of construction came to an end. However, the "Beton-Kalender" quickly became the chosen work of reference for civil and structural engineers, and apart from the years 1945-1950 has been published annually ever since. Ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) is a milestone in concrete technology and application. It permits the construction of both more slender and more durable concrete structures with a prolonged service life and thus improved sustainability. This book is a comprehensive overview of UHPC - from the principles behind its production and its mechanical properties to design and detailing aspects. The focus is on the material behaviour of steel fibre-reinforced UHPC. Numerical modelling and detailing of the connections with reinforced concrete elements are featured as well. Numerous examples worldwide - bridges, columns, facades and roofs - are the basis for additional explanations about the benefits of UHPC and how it helps to realise several architectural requirements. The authors are extensively involved in the testing, design, construction and monitoring of UHPC structures. What they provide here is therefore a unique synopsis of the state of the art with a view to practical applications.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steel fibers have widely been used in the past to reinforce brittle materials in many nonstructural applications such as pavement, tunneling lining, etc. On the basis of numerous previous studies, ACI 318-11 [2011] has recently accepted steel fiber as a minimum shear reinforcement replacement with minimum 0.75% volume fraction for both reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete members. However, not much previous research has talked about the flexural behavior of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC). As per ACI 318-11 for tension-controlled sections, the net tensile strains in the outermost layer of steel, et, should be greater than or equal to 0.005 and for the moment redistribution in continuous beam the section should sufficiently ductile (et [greater or equal to] 0.0075). For this, the sections should have small longitudinal reinforcement ratio which ultimately leads to an inefficient beam section with a large cross-sectional area. In contrast, the use of smaller concrete cross sections can lead to a diminished ductile flexural behavior as well as premature shear failure. In this context, the use of steel fiber reinforced concrete could be a potential solution since fiber can increase both the concrete shear strength and it's usable compressive strains. However limited previous researches on the flexural behavior on SFRC beams are available and most of them are of small scales and concentrated only basically for shear behavior. To the best of our knowledge, the large-scale prestressed fiber reinforced concrete beam specimens have yet to be studied for flexure behavior. In this project, six large scale prestressed concrete beams with or without steel fiber along with some material test were tested. Our experimental investigations indicated that even with inclusion of small percentage volume of fraction of steel fiber (Vf =0.75%) could not only increase the ductility and shear strength of the SFRPC beam but also change the failure pattern by increasing usable strain in concrete and steel. A modification on the limit for c/dt ratio and [phi] factor for design of flexural member given in current ACI could be proposed which could imply the smaller sections with higher longitudinal reinforcement ratio and less shear reinforcement. could be used. Any standard material test results have to ensure that FRC has, at least, been batched properly and it can give indications of probable performance when used in structures. In the current material testing method suggested by ACI, the third point bending test (ASTM C1609) has an inherent problem in that the coefficients of variations for post cracking strength and residual strength are generally very high on the order of 20%. The direct tensile test can be a more appropriate material. However, it is currently not recommended as standard method in the U.S. Because of it's difficultly in gripping arrangement which will lead to cracking of the specimen at the grips. Both the test methods also require close loop servo controlled machine. The round panel test method (ASTM C1550) requires large size specimen and heavy steel supports prevents performing test in small laboratories. Split cylinder test (ASTM C496), do not necessarily reflect the true properties of the material as the specimen is forced to fail in the line of the application of the load and the test method is also not recommended by ACI for SFRC. In order to improve the material assessment procedure, the double Punch Test (DPT) introduced by Chen in 1970 [Chen, 1970] was extensively evaluated to develop a simple, quick and reliable testing method for SFRC. Various tests were carried out in order to evaluate peak and residual strength, stiffness, strain hardening and softening, toughness and other post crack properties. Our test results indicated that the DPT method could be immersed as reliable, easier and economical material test method. It could be used to distinguish the peak strength, residual strength, toughness stiffness and crack resistance, of different SFRC mixtures with less scatter results compared to other material test methods.

This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) is defined as concrete containing randomly oriented discrete steel fibres. The main incentive of adding steel fibres to concrete is to control crack propagation and crack widening after the concrete matrix has cracked. Control of cracking automatically improves the mechanical properties of the composite material (SFRC). The most significant property of SFRC is its post-cracking strength that can impart the ability to absorb large amounts of energy before collapse. Ground slabs are structural applications that could benefit from these advantageous features of the SFRC. Many tests on SFRC ground slabs show that the material can offer distinct advantages compared to plain concrete. In concrete road pavements, SFRC is particularly suitable for increasing load-carrying capacity and fatigue resistance. Not surprisingly, recent years have witnessed acceleration in full-scale tests of SFRC and eventually acceptance of its use in concrete pavements. The use of SFRC in pavements has been slowed down by the absence of a reliable theoretical model to analyse and design these pavements. The analysis of ground slabs has traditionally been based on an elastic analysis assuming un-cracked concrete. Using such a method for SFRC would ignore the post-cracking contribution the SFRC can make to the flexural behaviour of the slab. Despite the growing trend of using methods of analysis based on yield-line theory, which can consider the post-cracking strength of SFRC, these methods were also found to underestimate the load-carrying capacity of SFRC ground slabs. To effectively account for the post-cracking strength of SFRC in the analysis of such slabs requires a method such as the finite element method. In the present work, non-linear methods are used to model the behaviour of SFRC ground slabs subjected to mechanical load. An analytical method is used to determine a tensile stress-strain response for SFRC. In this method, the post-cracking strength of SFRC is taken into account and hence the material model is sensitive to the element size used. The calculated stress-strain response is utilised in finite element analysis of SFRC beams and ground slabs. A smeared crack approach is used to simulate the behaviour of concrete cracking. The analytical method used to determine the tensile stress-strain response, as well as the finite element model, are evaluated using results from experiments on SFRC beams and ground slabs. The analytical results are found to compare well with the observations. The non-linear methods are further used to study the effect of the material model parameters as well as the support stiffness on load-displacement behaviour of SFRC ground slabs. The developed finite element model is shown to be more efficient compared to methods based on the yield-line theory. This is because it produces the load-displacement behaviour of the SFRC ground slab up to a reasonable limit and it provides the tensile stresses as well as the extent of cracking of the slab at every point on the load-displacement response. Using the developed finite element model will allow for considerable material saving since smaller slab thickness can be calculated compared to analytical models currently in use.
