This paper deals with the tensile resistance of hybrid steel fiber-reinforced concrete (HSFRC). Two forms of steel fibers are employed for three hybrid fiber systems having the exact total of 2% volume fraction steel fibers as follows: macro hooked (MH) with a length/diameter ratio of 35/0.5 mm, micro smooth (MS) with a length/diameter ratio of 13/0.2 mm. The hybrid fiber systems are designed as follows: MH 0.5% & MS 1.5% (MH0.5/MS1.5), MH 1.0% & MS 1.0% (MH1.0/MS1.0), MH 1.5% & MS 0.5% (MH1.5/MS0.5). With a total fiber content of 2%, as the MH volume fraction increases from 0.5 to 1.5%, the tensile strength of the HSFRCs significantly increases while the strain capacity notably decreases. Additionally, the energy absorption capacity of HSFRCs is superior to that of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) and normal strength concrete (NS-C), yet lower level compared to ultra high-performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC). Furthermore, fiber orientation varies between 2D and 3D, emphasizing the need to consider the influence of structural member size on fiber orientation in HSFRC design.

摘要

This paper deals with the tensile resistance of hybrid steel fiber-reinforced concrete (HSFRC). Two forms of steel fibers are employed for three hybrid fiber systems having the exact total of 2% volume fraction steel fibers as follows: macro hooked (MH) with a length/diameter ratio of 35/0.5 mm, micro smooth (MS) with a length/diameter ratio of 13/0.2 mm. The hybrid fiber systems are designed as follows: MH 0.5% & MS 1.5% (MH0.5/MS1.5), MH 1.0% & MS 1.0% (MH1.0/MS1.0), MH 1.5% & MS 0.5% (MH1.5/MS0.5). With a total fiber content of 2%, as the MH volume fraction increases from 0.5 to 1.5%, the tensile strength of the HSFRCs significantly increases while the strain capacity notably decreases. Additionally, the energy absorption capacity of HSFRCs is superior to that of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) and normal strength concrete (NS-C), yet lower level compared to ultra high-performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC). Furthermore, fiber orientation varies between 2D and 3D, emphasizing the need to consider the influence of structural member size on fiber orientation in HSFRC design.
