Selected Mechanical Properties of Concrete with Regard to the Type of Steel Fibers

. Not only in the construction industry, but also in other technical areas, efforts are being made to reduce the costs or difficulty of producing a certain product and at the same time to improve some of its properties. With the development of modern technologies come new possibilities in the development and production of such products. Fiber reinforced concrete is one of them. Fiber reinforced concrete does not fully replace reinforced concrete, but even with a reduction in price and production time, it has a certain part of the properties of reinforced concrete, which can be used for structural elements with specifically required properties. The subject of the presented paper is the testing and comparison of compressive and split tensile strength of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) with steel fibers MasterFiber 482 with dosage 60 kg/m3 and 90 kg/m3 and SFRC with 5 different types of steel fibers with dosage 50 kg/m3, where dosage 0 kg/m3 represents ordinary portland concrete (OPC). Submitted paper is also focused on specific test methods of concrete, such as measurement of resistance to frost and defrosting chemicals and pressure water seepage. © 2024 Trans Tech Publications Ltd, Switzerland.
