Compression specific toughness of normal strength steel fiber reinforced concrete (NSSFRC) and high strength steel fiber reinforced concrete (HSSFRC)

Eastern Mediterranean University, Faculty of Engineering, Department of Civil Engineering (ABM, 2011)

Compression toughness tests were carried out on concrete cylinders reinforced with three different aspect ratios of hooked-end steel fibers 60, 75, and 83 and six different percentages of steel fibers 0.5, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, ...
Effect of steel fibers on plastic shrinkage cracking of normal and high strength concretes

Eren, Özgür; Marar, Khaled (ABM, 2011)

Naturally concrete shrinks when it is subjected to a drying environment. If this shrinkage is restrained, tensile stresses develop and concrete may crack. Plastic shrinkage cracks are especially harmful on slabs. One of ...
