Experimental investigation on the composite effect of steel rebars and macro fibers on the impact behavior of high performance self-compacting concrete

摘要

In this study, the impact behavior of ten types of high performance self-compacting concrete (HPSCC) was explored using the drop-weight method. The HPSCC specimens were reinforced with steel rebars and different fibers for comparison with plain concrete. The reinforcement mechanism of the influences of steel rebars and different fibers on failure impact energy was explained. The composite effects of hybrid use of steel rebars with different fibers on the failure impact energy were also compared. The penetration depth for each mixture was analyzed. Test results showed that the macro fibers could greatly improve the failure impact energy both in plain and reinforcement concrete. Moreover, the toughness, penetration depth, stress redistribution could be improved obviously due to the positive hybrid effect of rebars and macro fibers in reinforced concrete. The statistical analysis technique was introduced to evaluate the experimental data, and the goodness of fit tests showed that the distribution of the blow numbers to the first crack and up to the final failure followed the two-parameter Weibull distribution.
