APPLICATION OF THE ROTATING IMPACT MACHINE FOR TESTING FIBRE-REINFORCED CONCRETE

The methods used up to now to determine the impact resistance of fibre-reinforced concrete materials (frc) are discussed. The application of the rotating impact machine to investigate this property of frc materials is described. Preliminary test results on impact resistance using straight, round steel fibres are reported. It is shown that the impact resistance of frc depends not only on the fibre content, but also on the velocity of the impact load, the type of frc structure (one- or two-dimensional) as well as on the angle of impact with respect to the direction of fibres.
