Investigation of the Usage Areas of Different Fiber Reinforced Concrete

Abstract

Nowadays, the need for concrete to be used in different areas has led to some concrete technology developments. One of the developments in this area is the production of fibrous concrete. It is a material that has a wide application area in fiber concrete, concrete and reinforced concrete building applications. Because of this widespread usage, many studies have been done to improve the properties of concrete. Fiber Reinforced Concrete obtained with different types of fibers added to concrete is one of these studies. Fiber-reinforced concrete; hydraulic cement, aggregate and discontinuous dispersed fibers mixed with water. The fibers are not very effective on the compressive strength of concrete, but they significantly increase the concrete's flexural toughness. Polymer fibers used in concrete are mostly preferred to reduce shrinkage. Metallic fibers such as steel fiber are used to increase toughness. Also nowadays, it is produced with steel fibers and ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC).
