STRESS-STRAIN PROPERITES OF RANDOM WIRE REINFORCED CONCRETE

THIS INVESTIGATION WAS DESIGNED TO MEASURE THE EFFECT OF THE LENGTH OF RANDOMLY ORIENTED WIRE FIBERS. THE PERCENTAGE BY VOLUME OF REINFORCEMENT, AND THE AGE AND CURING CONDITIONS OF RANDOM WIRE REINFORCED CONCRETE ON THE TENSILE STRENGTH, COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH, AND DUCTILITY OF THE MATERIAL. TO OBTAIN THIS INFORMATION, STANDARD CYLINDERS WERE TESTING IN DIRECT COMPRESSION AND INDIRECT TENSION IN A SETUP DESIGNED TO OBTAIN ALL THE STRESS-STRAIN CURVES FOR THE MATERIAL. INCREASES IN TENSILE STRENGTH ON THE ORDER OF 60 PERCENT, AND LARGE INCREASES IN DUCTILITY WERE OBSERVED FOR THE RANDOM WIRE REINFORCED MATERIAL OVER THE UNREINFORCED MATERIAL. /AUTHOR/
