BIAXIAL STRENGTH AND DEFORMATIONAL BEHAVIOR OF PLAIN AND STEEL FIBER CONCRETE

Plain and steel fiber reinforced concrete cubes were tested under uniaxial and biaxial stresses. The experimental results showed that uniaxial compressive strength of steel fiber reinforced concrete increased, decreased or did not change in comparison to plain concrete. The highest increase in uniaxial strength was about 22 % in the case of 1.18 in. fiber length at 1.5 % concentration. For biaxial compression, steel fiber concrete showed higher compressive strength than plain concrete for all cases. The increase was 78 % in the case of 1.18 in. fiber length at 1.5 % fiber volume concentration at a stress ratio equal to one. The addition of steel fibers to plain concrete changed the failure mode from the usual tensile splitting type failure to shear type failure.
