Also, the effect of the coring direction with respect to the preferential Fibre Orientation caused by the Compaction procedure is examined. The study demonstrates that the Test is robust and representative of the Material response, and could be used for determining the σ–w relation of the Material that may be needed for Comparing the Performance of different Fibres or for providing input for finite Element analysis. No significant influence of the characteristics of the Specimen or problems of instability due to the loss of control were encountered. There is some relative rotation between the Crack faces but its influence on the σ–w response is expected to be negligible.

The Cracks induced by wedge loading were found to be geometrically Complex and certainly could not be described as simple straight Cracks as assumed in various Models. On intersection with Fibers Oriented perpendicularly to them, the Cracks tended to displace laterally and branch into a number of microCracks; on intersection with Fibers at less than perpendicular angles, the tendency was for the Crack to change course and run parallel to the inclined Fiber. Often at perpendicular intersections the Crack appeared to be arrested in the matrix 10 to 40 ?m ahead of the actual Fiber interface, and then produced a “pseudo-debonding Crack” parallel to the Fiber but some distance away from the actual interface.

Low Tensile Strength and brittleness are often responsible for micro Cracking of Concrete surface and accordingly its lower resistance to penetrability of aggressive agents. In Highly aggressive environments with presence of dynamic loadings mechanical Properties together with permeability of Concrete are detrimental for its durability. High Strength Fibre Reinforced Concrete can be solution in these environments because it allows control of the Crack opening and assures structural continuity. Since use of Industrial Steel Fibres in Concrete mixture significantly raises the costs of Concrete, nowadays the use of supplement Materials is explored. Since 2006, when European Commission prohibited any kind of waste tyres disposal, waste tyres became valuable resource. During mechanical recycling of waste tyres is possible to obtain products which are all reusable in Concrete industry; rubber, Steel and textile Fibres. In this paper use of recycled Steel Fibres with and without addition of recycled rubber is explored, all in order to obtain High Strength Fibre Reinforced Concrete. Although, Steel Fibres obtained during mechanical recycling of waste rubber are irregular, with different lengths and diameters previous studies showed that they represent good supplement for Industrial Fibres. Rubber granulates used during this research have diameter from 0,5 to 2 mm. Seven Concrete mixtures was prepared during this research including different ratios of Industrial and recycled Steel Fibres (100I0R; 50I50R; 0I100R) with and without addition of recycled rubber (5% by total volume of aggregate). In order to evaluate the influence of combining Industrial and recycled Steel Fibres, with or without addition of the rubber on mechanical Properties of Concrete following Testing was performed: Compressive Strength, Flexural Strength, modulus of elasticity, Toughness, abrasion, freezing resistance and shrinkage.}, howpublished = {[CD-ROM]}, owner = {Ulvis}, timestamp = {2012.11.08} } @BOOK{Bolotin, title = {Methods of Probability Theory and Reliability Theory in Structure Analysis}, publisher = {Stroiizdat}, year = {1981}, author = {V.

The Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) was proved to be more eco-friendly, efficient and has exhibited improved Performance when Tested by introducing different types of Fibres. The present studies are aimed at studying the Behaviour of the Self Compacting Concrete with the introduction of hybrid Fibres. The hybrid Fibres chosen are High dispersion glass Fibres with an aspect ratio of 857 at a dosage of 0.024% by volume and the Steel Fibres content is 0.4% by volume having an aspect ratio of 30 to form Hybrid Fibre Reinforced Self Compacting Concrete (HFRSCC). It is observed that the inclusion of hybrid Fibres in SCC has improved its mechanical Properties like Strength, ductility factor, plasticity ratio and modulus of elasticity. Using the results of the above mechanical Properties, the Stress-Strain Behaviour of HFRSCC was Investigated under different confinements in the form of Steel hoops with the percentage confinement varying from 0% to 1.591%. Strength enhanCement ratios were also reported for both plain SCC and HFRSCC. Stress-Strain Models were developed in the form of single polynomial equations to Predict the Stress-Strain Behaviour. Subsequently, wall panels of 1500mm × 1000mm size and 75mm thick (Model wall panels) were cast with SCC and HFRSCC mixes as developed and Tested under vertical Compressive load with minimum eccentricity of t/6 i.e 12.5mm. The experiments have shown that the load carrying Capacity of HFRSCC panels has increased by 53% under minimum eccentric loading condition.

Its mechanical behavior strongly depends on the choice of the Properties of the Fibers and their volume Fraction in the Concrete mixture. As any Material employed in building construction, Testing the Material “on the site” represents a very important task. Very often this requires employing non invasive and non destructive measurement Methods which have to be implemented directly in-situ. In this paper a new Method for the detection of Fiber density and Orientation is presented. It is based on the employment of a probe sensitive to the magnetic Properties of the Steel Fibers.

In the post-Cracking stage, several Cracks develop before Complete failure, which occurs when Tensile Strains localize in one of the formed Cracks. As is well known, multiple Cracking and Strain Hardening can be achieved in Cement-based Specimens subjected to uniaxial Tension by increasing the volume Fraction of Steel Fibers with hooked ends, or by using plastic Fibers with and without Steel Fibers, or by means of High bond Steel Fibers (e.g., twisted Fibers or cords). To better understand why, in such situations, High mechanical Performances are obtained, an analytical Model is herein proposed. It is based on a cohesive interface analysis, which has been largely adopted to Investigate the mechanical response of FRC or the snubbing effects produced by inclined Fibers, but not the condition of multiple Cracking and Strain Hardening of HPFRCC. Through this approach, all the phenomena that affect the post-Cracking response of FRC are evidenced, such as the nonlinear Fracture mechanics of the matrix, the bond–slip Behaviour between Fibers and matrix, and the elastic response of both Materials. The Model, capable of Predicting the average distance between Cracks as measured in some experimental campaigns, leads to a new Design criterion for HPFRCC and can eventually be used to enhance the Performances of Cement-based Composites.}, doi = {10.1016/j.cemconres.2009.08.020}, issn = {0008-8846}, keywords = {C: Bond Properties}, url = {http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0008884609002269} } @ARTICLE{Fantilli2008, author = {P.

After having defined a measurement process, the representativity of electrical resistivity values is assessed by analysis of measurements on eight slabs.

The calculation of electrical anisotropy gives an indication of the “inTensity of Fibres Orientation” in each area.

It is shown that: (1)The pull-out load of a randomly Oriented Fiber is not lower than that of an aligned Fiber; (2)the pull-out Capacity of a group of randomly Oriented Fibers decreases drastically when the number of Fibers pulling out from the same area increases; and (3)the efficiency of Fiber Orientation after matrix Cracking is substantially Higher than efficiency factors derived from the theoretical elastic considerations.

This is holding back the Material's development as a permanent Structural Material. Existing beam and slab Test Methods have problems with variability or their Application in Structural Design. Furthermore, existing Models of SFRC Flexural Behaviour do not fully capture what happens at the Cracked section in terms of the Fibre-matrix interactions. Typical of these approaches is the Modelling of the Tension zone from single Fibre pull-out Tests, which is problematic in measurement of the load-displaCement relationship, the interaction of groups of Fibres and the exTensive Testing required to cover all permutations of Fibre geometry. An alternative approach is proposed where the average pull-out response of the Fibres bridging the Cracked zone is inferred from Flexural beam Tests. The characteristic load versus Crack-mouth opening displaCement Behaviour for a particular Fibre Concrete then forms part of the Stress and Strain/displaCement profile in a Flexural analysis to Predict moment Capacity in a Design calculation. The Model is explained together with its validation by Comparing the Predicted load-displaCement response for a range of Fibre volumes in sprayed and cast SFRC. It is concluded that the analysis of beam load/deflection curves to infer the Fibre pull-out response is a viable approach.

Two different Fibres, Steel and polypropylene, were used to form single and hybrid FRC systems at five different volume Fractions (1% to 5%). It was found that the Tensile Properties of FRC depended mostly on the type, content and selected FRC system. Single type Steel Fibre-Reinforced Concrete (SS-FRC) was found to behave in a typical manner, with a peak load occurring at a very small deformation followed by a drop of the load to zero with no sign of load recovery. In the case of single type polypropylene Fibre-Reinforced Concrete (SP-FRC) the Behaviour was more ductile and presented mostly a double-peak response: a first peak at small deformation and a second peak at large deformation. Steel Fibres are believed to contribute more to Strength whereas polypropylene Fibres are believed to contribute to the ductility (i.e. Toughness). For hybrid systems (Hy-FRC), it was found that the Behaviour was in fact the combined Behaviour of Steel and polypropylene.

An attempt to adopt an existing RILEM Design framework to derive appropriate Tensile Stress-Strain blocks is made, but problems are identified with key parameters of the framework. The influence of Crack propagation and location of neutral axis depth on the Tensile Stress Distribution is examined. Following an analytical study, it is concluded that the uniaxial Stress-Strain Model, proposed by RILEM overestimates the load-carrying Capacity and should be modified by utilising more advanced analytical techniques.}, affiliation = {Buro Happold Birmingham UK}, issn = {1359-5997}, issue = {3}, keyword = {Engineering}, owner = {Ulvis}, publisher = {Springer Netherlands}, timestamp = {2012.07.15}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11527-005-9009-4} } @ARTICLE{Torrents2012, author = {Torrents, JosepM. and Blanco, Ana and Pujadas, Pablo and Aguado, Antonio and Juan-García, Pablo and Sánchez-Moragues, MiguelÁngel}, title = {Inductive Method for assessing the amount and Orientation of Steel Fibers in Concrete}, journal = {Materials and Structures}, year = {2012}, pages = {1-16}, doi = {10.1617/s11527-012-9858-6}, issn = {1359-5997}, keywords = {Non-destructive Methods; Magnetism; Inductive Method; Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC)}, language = {English}, publisher = {Springer Netherlands}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1617/s11527-012-9858-6} } @BOOK{RilemStatOfTheArt2013, title = {Strain Hardening Cement Composites: Structural Design and Performance, State-of-the-Art Report of the RILEM Technical Committee 208-HFC, SC3}, publisher = {Springer}, year = {2013}, editor = {Keitetsu Rokugo and Tetsushi Kanda}, author = {Kanakubo Toshiyuki and Petr Kabele and Hiroshi Fukuyama and Yuichi Uchida and Haruhiko Suwada and Volker Slowik}, volume = {6}, pages = {90}, series = {Rilem State-of-the-Art Reports}, address = {Netherlands}, doi = {10.1007/978-94-007-4836-1}, owner = {Ulvis}, timestamp = {2013.02.03}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-4836-1} } @INCOLLECTION{Trono2012, author = {Trono, W. and Jen, G. and Moreno, D. and Billington, S. and Ostertag, C.

The most important new Element in this Model Code is ā€�Timeā€¯ in the sense of service life. Additionally, the Model Code contains an extended state-of-theart chapter on the Structural Materials Concrete and Steel but regards non-metallic Reinforcement and Fibres as Reinforcement as well. Many loading conditions are considered, ranging from static loading to non-static loading, considering earthquake, fatigue and impact/explosion. Five Methods are offered to verify Structural safety. Attention is given to verification of limit states associated with durability, robustness and sustainability. Finally, verification assisted by numerical Methods and by Testing is considered. Other Elements that are links in the chain of life cycle Design are conStruction and conservation. In the part on conservation the conservation Strategy is treated in combination with conservation management, condition survey and assessment, and evaluation and decision-making.}, doi = {10.1002/suco.201100025}, issn = {1751-7648}, keywords = {Concrete, Concrete Structures, Recommendations, fib, Future developments}, owner = {Ulvis}, publisher = {WILEY-VCH Verlag}, timestamp = {2012.07.17}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/suco.201100025} } @BOOK{Wietek2010, title = {Stahlfaserbeton}, publisher = {Vieweg+Teubner}, year = {2010}, author = {Wietek, BernHard}, pages = {269}, address = {Wiesbaden}, note = {In German}, booktitle = {Stahlfaserbeton}, citeulike-article-id = {10895470}, citeulike-linkout-0 = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-8348-9392-5}, citeulike-linkout-1 = {http://www.springerlink.com/content/978-3-8348-0872-1}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-8348-9392-5}, isbn = {978-3-8348-0872-1}, keywords = {sfrc}, owner = {Ulvis}, posted-at = {2012-07-17 15:37:00}, priority = {2}, timestamp = {2012.07.17}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-8348-9392-5} } @ARTICLE{Zhang2010, author = {Zhang, Jun and Leung, Christopher and Xu, Shilang}, title = {Evaluation of Fracture parameters of Concrete from Bending Test using inverse analysis approach}, journal = {Materials and Structures}, year = {2010}, volume = {43}, pages = {857-874}, abstract = {In this study, an inverse analysis approach is developed to obtain the Fracture parameters of Concrete, including Stressā€“Crack opening relationship, Cracking and Tensile Strength as well as Fracture energy, from the results of a three-point Bending Test.

For normal Strength Concrete, coarse aggregate size and Cement matrix Strength significantly influence the shape of Ļ�ā€“ w curve. For a given total aggregate content, small aggregate size leads to a High Tensile Strength and a sharp post-peak Stress drop. The smaller the coarse aggregate, the steeper is the post-peak Ļ�ā€“ w curve. By contrast, in High Strength Concrete, a similar Ļ�ā€“ w relationship is obtained for various aggregate sizes. The post-peak Stress drop for High Strength Concrete is more abrupt than that for normal Strength Concrete. Also, the smaller the coarse aggregate size, the Higher is the Flexural Strength.
