IMPACTS ON FIBRE REINFORCED CONCRETE SLABS. FIBRE REINFORCED CEMENTS AND CONCRETES: RECENT DEVELOPMENTS. PROCEEDINGS OF AN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE HELD AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WALES, COLLEGE OF CARDIFF, SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING, UNITED KINGDOM, SEPTEMBER 18-20, 1989

Electricite de France has to solve several impact problems in French Nuclear Power Plant Buildings taking into account the non-linear behaviour of structures. So, it could be interesting to use fibres to design local structures for a higher effort without changing the thickness of wall or increasing the reinforcement. In order to qualify the good behaviour of fibre reinforced concrete in the case of impacts, dynamic tests have been carried out on small slabs including metallic fibres in the ordinary reinforced concrete. Static crushing tests on slabs have allowed the measurement of load deformation curves. The stress strain curves have also been determined for small concrete cylinders and some calculations have been compared with results. Although the fibres in concrete do not increase the compressive strength very much, they improve greatly the impact resistance of slabs.(A) For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 827953.
