Strengthening Efficiency of Ring Type Steel Fibers in Concrete Panels
콘크리트 패널 내 원형 강섬유의 보강 효율성
Abstract
It is generally observed that steel fiber reinforced concrete with traditional straight steel fibers overcomes brittle nature of plain concrete by failure mechanisms by fiber pull-out rather than fiber rupture resulting from fiber yielding or concrete fracture at failured surface. Ring type steel fibers in concrete which is confined in concrete matrix and has better orientation, thus, lead to fiber yielding and concrete fracture as well as increase of flexural behavior of concrete more efficiently, Comparative experimental study is performed in order to measure the relative efficiencies of steel fiber reinforced concrete reinforced with two different fibers. It is found that better toughness is obtained from the ring type steel fiber reinforced concrete than from straight steel fiber reinforced concrete under flexural loading.
