STEEL FIBER REINFORCED CONCRETE PAVEMENT -- CONSTRUCTION AND INTERIM PERFORMANCE REPORT

The paper reports on the performance of a series of plain and steel fiber reinforced concrete slabs located on a city bus route after 15 weeks service. The 3, 4 and 5 in. plain concretes exhibited major structural damage while the 3 in. slab with the lower fiber content showed only minor damage, and the remaining fibrous slabs showed negligible or no damage. Comparison of short term pavement performance with predictions for plain concrete based on relationships developed from the AASHO Road Test program and similar work in England indicates that fibrous concrete substantially betters these predictions, at least in the short term.
