STEEL barsREINFORCED concreteCOMPRESSIVE strengthGRANITEIn order to determine the compressive and tensile strength of concrete under conditions of explosive loading, and to develop a methodological framework in this regard, three types of concrete have been investigated: concrete with fine-grained granite ...
FRC thus increases the flexural and tensile strengths of concrete and can increase the toughness and resistance to cracks. In particular, the most commonly used steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) has demonstrated significant effects by exhibiting an increase in flexural strength of ~ 3%–81% ...
An experimental investigation was carried out to investigate the influence of steel fiber on the compressive and tensile strength of recycled aggregate concrete. The experimental program consisted of testing 100x100 concrete cubes. The experimental variables used were the water/cement ratio, recycled ...

This research work has investigate the various strengths at elevated temperature of high strength fiber reinforced concrete (HSFRC). Various strengths considered for investigation are compressive strength, flexural strength. Concrete mix of M60 grade and crimped steel fibers with aspect ratio 50 are us...
Among fiber-reinforced composites, steel fiber has been widely-used for concrete infrastructure such as silos, tunnels, specifically aiming at reducing the weight of concrete and enhancing its strength by overcoming the brittleness. However, there is sti
Many researches focused on the mechanical properties of steel and concrete have been carried out for applications in the construction industry. However, in order to clarify the mechanical properties of pultruded fiber-reinforced polymer (PFRP) structural members for construction, testing is needed. Deri...
This paper re-examines common notions and conventions regarding the compressive strength of concrete in general and of the uniaxial compressive strength of
Compressive strength is an essential property in structural materials, for example, mortar, which comprises the interacial transtition zone in concrete, stone, and steel, since material design is normally evaluated in terms of the risk of compression failure. In addition the CBM is known as having...
