CARDIFRC~® - Development and mechanical properties. Part Ⅱ: Fibre distribution

摘要

Part Ⅱ of this three-part paper deals with the assessment of the distribution of fibres in CARDIFRC~®, a class of high-performance short steel fibre-reinforced cementitious composites. The effect of the mixing procedure and of the shape of the object cast from CARDIFRC~® on the distribution of the fibres is assessed using both a nondestructive and a destructive technique. The non-destructive technique is based on computerised tomography imaging and the destructive technique on image analysis.
