Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The addition of fibers to improve the properties of cement-based matrices has been well known for many years and, likewise, the feasibility of using fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) in various applications is unquestioned. Researchers have conducted many studies to investigate the mechanical properties and material aspects of FRC. More recent research efforts have expanded its application to include structural improvements and simplifying reinforcement details, etc. Wide-ranging research into the long-term performance of FRC is critical, as foundational knowledge of structural elements is necessary for the practicing civil engineer and designer to use FRC members on a routine basis.

To this end, this Special Issue aims to provide comprehensive studies under the theme, Long-Term Properties of Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC). Such articles should include, but are not limited to, the following subjects:

  • Long-term behavior of FRC;
  • Performance of FRC in an aggressive environment;
  • Time-dependent behavior of FRC;
  • Structural performance of FRC under various loading conditions.

We look forward to receiving your contributions to this Special Issue for review.

Abstract
This paper investigates the effects of the tensile strength of steel fiber on the mechanical properties of steel fiber-reinforced high-strength concrete. Two levels of steel fiber tensile strength (1100 MPa and 1600 MPa) and two steel fiber contents (0.38% and 0.75%) were used [...] Read more.
This paper investigates the effects of the tensile strength of steel fiber on the mechanical properties of steel fiber-reinforced high-strength concrete. Two levels of steel fiber tensile strength (1100 MPa and 1600 MPa) and two steel fiber contents (0.38% and 0.75%) were used to test the compression, flexure, and direct shear performance of steel fiber-reinforced high-strength concrete specimens. The aspect ratio for the steel fiber was fixed at 80 and the design compressive strength of neat concrete was set at 70 MPa to match that of high-strength concrete. The performance of the steel fiber-reinforced concrete that contained high-strength steel fiber was superior to that which contained normal-strength steel fiber. In terms of flexural performance in particular, the tensile strength of steel fiber can better indicate performance than the steel fiber mixing ratio. In addition, a compression prediction model is proposed to evaluate compression toughness, and the model results are compared. The predictive model can anticipate the behavior after the maximum load.
