The addition of fibers has allowed concrete to take a role in the field of ductile materials. In this field, pavements were always a challenge and a success for concrete. To be a strong rival to asphalt, concrete needs to be more flexible, which is possible by the use of fibers. However, for this concrete pavement to be able to survive and last as long as possible it needs to be a high performance one. The shy use of concrete pavements in Turkey shows the need for further researches on the local base to allow this type of pavements to take its correct place and save many effort and costs. In this work, different high performance fiber reinforced concrete mixtures were prepared and evaluated to be used as pavement. A selection of micro, macro, synthetic and steel fibers was used in the production of the high performance concrete. The fiber dosages ranged between 1% to 2%. For comparison reasons, a concrete batch with no fibers and a one with steel mesh were also casted. The performance tests were conducted over square plates specimens with dimensions of 600×600×100 mm3, loaded on the center according to the EN 14488 standard. The test results show that the use of fibers has really improved the concrete performance. In addition to that, high performance fiber reinforced concrete might be a good match to the ordinary steel reinforced concrete.

High performance structural lightweight concrete utilizing natural perlite aggregate and perlite powder Eser, Hasan; Turanlı, Lütfullah; Department of Civil Engineering (2014) Structural Lightweight Concrete is generally made by using artificial lightweight aggregates such as expanded clay, shale and slate. However, rapidly increasing fuel prices in recent decades and corresponding increase in the production costs of these aggregates have renewed the interest in natural lightweight aggregates such as pumice, scoria, rhyolite and perlite. This study investigates the mechanical properties and durability characteristics of high-performance lightweight concretes utilizing natural per...
High performance macro synthetic fiber reinforced concrete Öztürk, Çağrı; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Department of Civil Engineering (2018) Since concrete is a brittle construction material, it has the tendency to fail in a brittle manner after the occurance of the first crack when it is subjected to a certain amount of load. Therefore, this property of concrete makes almost impossible for it to be used in load carrying structural elements without reinforcement. This reinforcement is usually utilized by a structural steel reinforcement such as rebar and wire mesh. The structural steel reinforcements compensate the low resistance against the ten...
Determination of the Tensile Strength of Different Fiber Reinforced Concrete Mixtures Ardoğa, Mehmet Kemal; Alam, Burhan; Yaman, İsmail Özgür (null; 2016-09-21) Enhancing the tensile performance of concrete is the main advantage when fibers are added to this type of building materials. This improvement is usually measured through indirect methods like bending or split-tensile tests, in a way similar to normal concrete due to the absence of a standard tensile test for such purpose. Naturally, this type of tests does not determine the real tensile strength of the fiber reinforced concrete. Hence an important parameter, that is needed in modelling and designing proces...
Effect of test methods on the performance of fiber reinforced concrete with different dosages and matrices Hetemoğlu, Yalçın Oğuz; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Department of Civil Engineering (2018) Through the last few decades, the idea of adding fibers in to concrete has been quite improved, considering the significant contribution of fibers to the mechanical properties of concrete such as tensile strength, energy absorption capacity and ductility. As a result of many intensive research Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) has become a high-tech material that ensures great performance yet needs efficient design and application. However, the lack of a universally accepted approach and standardized test met...
Tuned vibration absorber design for a supported hollow cylindrical structure Aksoy, Tuğrul; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2015) Supported hollow structural elements have a usage area in various types of structures or machines. They exhibit an oscillatory behavior under various excitations since their modal frequencies are quite low. This behavior results in vibrations which reach huge amplitudes especially at the tip of the structures. This situation may be harmful for the structural integrity of the structures and may reduce the service life. Moreover, these vibrations can distort the performance of the machines’ which involve the ...
