EROSION-ABRASION RESISTANCE OF STEEL FIBRE REINFORCED CONCRETE. IN: DURABILITY OF CONCRETE. SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE. AUGUST 4-9, 1991, MONTREAL, CANADA. VOLUME II

The results of investigation into the erosion-abrasion resistance according to CRD-C 63-80 test method and abrasion resistance according to Bohme test method of steel fibre reinforced concrete specimens are discussed in the paper. Nine mix proportions were used. The w/c ratios were varied from 0.30 to 0.65. The volumetric percentage of hooked steel fibres were varied from 0.25 to 2.0 vol. percent at the w/c of 0.30 and at the others the quantity of fibres was constant. In addition, mixes without fibres were made at each w/c. Results show that adding steel fibres into the concrete improves the resistances as measured by both test methods. The erosion-abrasion resistance is improved by an increase of compressive strength and by an increase in fibre content. It can be correlated to improvements of abrasion resistance from the Bohme test method but only at constant w/c and different content of fibres.
