EFFECT OF FIBRE ADDITION ON CONCRETE STRENGTHS

Improvements in the strengths of concrete due to the addition of steel fibres are found to be related to the aspect ratio, fibre volume fraction and bond characteristics of the fibre used. A single parameter accounting for the combined influence of these three factors is defined in the paper, and formulae for the likely improvements in cube strength, split cylinder strength and modulus of rupture due to fibre incorporation are suggested in terms of this parameter.
