STRENGTH OF STEEL-FIBER-REINFORCED POLYMER CONCRETE - EFFECT OF IMPREGNATION TECHNIQUE

Ordinary concrete was modified by three different techniques, (i) steel fibre reinforcement, (ii) polymer impregnation, and (iii) by both steel fibre reinforcement and polymer impregnation. Impregnating steel-fibre-reinforced concrete results in combined reinforcing effects. The flexural strength of concrete was increased 1·48 times by steel fibre reinforcement, 5·42 times by polymer impregnation, and 6·3 times by the combined technique. Polymer loading was increased from 7 to 9·5% by pressure impregnation at 15 atm, and to 8·35% by vacuum impregnation at 5 mm Hg. The flexural strength of steel-fibre-reinforced polymer-impregnated concrete at these polymer loadings was increased by 7·4 and 7·1 times respectively over the ordinary concrete. Pressure impregnation resulted in higher increase in strength compared to vacuum impregnation at the same polymer loadings.

Tensile and impact strengths of steel fiber reinforced polymer impregnated concrete
Yalçin, Nilüfer; Gündüz, Güngör (Elsevier BV, 1986-11)
Ordinary concrete was reinforced by (i) steel fiber, (ii) polymer impregnation, and (iii) by both steel fiber and polymer impregnation. The tensile strength of concrete was increased 2.62 times by steel fiber reinforcement, 5.56 times by polymer impregnation, and 7.52 times by the combined technique. The increase in impact strength for these three cases were 2–3, 7–15, and 9–15 times respectively, over the plain concrete. Polymer loading was increased from 7% to 9.5% by pressure impregnation at 15 atm. Then...
TENSILE, FLEXURAL AND IMPACT PROPERTIES OF A THERMOPLASTIC MATRIX REINFORCED BY GLASS-FIBER AND GLASS BEAD HYBRIDS
Yılmazer, Ülkü (Elsevier BV, 1992-01-01)
The tensile and flexural properties, together with the unnotched and notched impact strengths of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), glass bead (GB) and glass fiber (GF) ternary composites have been studied. The tensile strengths of the hybrid composites were predicted, from a theory formulated in this study, by using the strengths of the ABS/GB and ABS/GF composites alone. The addition of even a small quantity of glass fiber to ABS or ABS/GB composites changes the mode of deformation from one which sh...
Strength of sands in wedge shear, triaxial shear, and shear box tests
Mirata, Tuerker; Erzin, Yusuf (ASTM International, 2007-03-01)
Limited tests had indicated peak drained values of angle of internal friction (of gravelly sands measured in the cylindrical wedge shear test (cylwest) to be relatively closer to the (expected from plane strain tests than from triaxial tests. Such a difference was not obtained between the results of the prismatic wedge shear test (priswest) and the triaxial test on gravels and crushed rock. In this study, six sands with <3.35 mm particles were tested. It was seen that the main reason for the difference betw...
Multidimensional Comparison of Lightweight Steel and Reinforced Concrete Structures: A Case Study
Celik, Tolga; Kamali, Saeed (Mechanical Engineering Faculty in Slavonski Brod, 2018-08-01)
Lightweight steel construction has some undeniable advantages over concrete construction; however, reinforced concrete structures are used ubiquitously in Mediterranean countries and therefore most of the scientific studies have been focused on the reinforced concrete structures. One of the main reasons for not using the lightweight steel construction widely is lack on knowhow about this method. This study is aimed at raising the knowledge about the technical features of cold-formed steel members as well as...
Investigation of strenghthening techniques using pseudo-dynamic testing
Kurt, Efe Gökçe; Özcebe, Güney; Department of Civil Engineering (2010)
Pseudo-dynamic testing was employed to observe the seismic performance of three different retrofit methods on two story three bay reinforced concrete frame structures. The three test frames have hollow clay tile (HCT) infills in the central bay. All of the test frames represent the seismic deficiencies of the Turkish construction practice such as use of plain reinforcing bars, low strength concrete and insufficient confining steel. Two non-invasive and occupant friendly retrofit schemes suggested in the Tur...
