Influence of production parameters on the fiber geometry and the mechanical behavior of ultra high performance fiber-reinforced concrete

  • In this paper, the relationship between production parameters of ultra high performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) and the spatial distribution and orientation of the steel fibers is investigated. UHPFRC specimens with varying fiber diameter, fiber volume fraction, and rheology of the mixture are produced. Additionally, casting is performed from the side or the middle of the formwork. Imaging by micro computed tomography allows for a statistical analysis of the spatial arrangement of the fibers in the test specimens. The flexural behavior and the load capacity of the specimens are analyzed by four point bending tests. The results of the bending tests are well explained by characteristics of the fiber systems determined from the image data.
