High Strength Steel Fiber Reinforced Flow-Able Or Scc Concrete With Variable Fiber By Volume Fractions For Thin Plate And Shell Structures, Abebe Berhe
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
The purpose of this study is to incorporate discrete, short, mechanically deformed, small diameter steel fibers into high strength concrete with f'c > 70 MPa (10 ksi) in an attempt to reduce and partially eliminate the need for steel rebar in concrete construction. By introducing steel fibers to high strength concrete mixture, the overall tensile, compressive and shear strength of the mixture can be improved immensely thus, replacing portions or major parts of the longitudinal, temperature and shrinkage reinforcements. The reduction or elimination of longitudinal and transverse reinforcements in the construction of structural or non-structural members can result in savings in …
