Cracking Behaviour of Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete Containing Conventional Steel ReinforcementDeluce, Jordon Robert 23 August 2011 (has links)
It is well known that crack spacings and widths can be reduced with the addition of steel fibres to a concrete mix. However, test data for the tensile behaviour of steel fibre reinforced concrete members containing conventional steel reinforcement (R/FRC members) are scarce relative to those of reinforced concrete (RC) specimens and fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) specimens without reinforcing bars.
In this research program, uniaxial tension tests were conducted on 12 RC and 48 R/FRC specimens in order to observe cracking and tension stiffening behaviour. The parameters under observation were fibre volumetric content, fibre length and aspect ratio, conventional reinforcement ratio and steel reinforcing bar diameter. ‘Dog-bone’ tension tests and bending tests were also performed in order to determine tensile material properties.
It was discovered that currently available crack spacing formulae significantly overestimate the average stabilized crack spacing for R/FRC; therefore, an improved crack spacing model was developed and proposed.
