The aim of the present work is to investigate the flexural behavior of self-compacting concrete reinforced with straight and hooked end steel fibers at levels of 0.5%, 1.0% and …
With addition of steel fibers to concrete, its properties are altered from brittle to ductile. Using lightweight concrete enables decrease in additional loads while self-compacted concrete …

Several parameters during the fabrication process cause segregation and poor orientation of the fibers in steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) members. With its high flowability and …
Systematical research was implemented to explore the impacts of fiber reinforcement index V f L f/df (ie, the product of fiber volume V f and fiber aspect ratio L f/df) on the energy …
This paper presents and discusses the results of experimental tests performed on concrete specimens internally reinforced with polypropylene and steel fibers. Specifically, samples of …
The self-compacting concrete (SCC) with the replacement of recycled rubber aggregates is limited for the field application due to high-performance requirements. The steel fiber was …

The major issues related to the environment are the depletion of natural resources and the dumping of waste materials to the open landfill. Waste tire contributes to the latter problem …
This study covered the fresh and mechanical characteristics of self-compacting concrete incorporating various fractions of (natural) roselle fibre (1 to 4% with 1% increment by weight …
