Abstract
Structural material that is able to solve complex problems in the toughest construction industry is dispersed reinforced concrete (reinforced concrete). This is composite-based cement matrix reinforced with fibers of various nature (steel, glass, basalt, carbon, polymeric and others). Today three types of reinforcing fiber materials are mostly widely used: fibers in the form of short segments of thin steel wire, glass fibers and fibers based on polypropylene. The widespread use of reinforced concrete is caused by higher rates of strength, fracture toughness, impact strength, less micro cracking during hardening compared with classical concrete. The strength model for the tensile fiber-reinforced concrete was developed. Analytical dependence for strength assessing of material, which allows considering micro-cracks and pores in its structure and the presence of reinforcing fibers was obtained. For its verification experimental research has been carried out. In the research to prepare solutions the following materials were used: basalt fiber; Portland; plasticizer. On the basis of the prismatic component 40x0x160 mm size samples for tensile bending tests were made. Water-cement ratio was 0.4 with a plasticizer in an amount of 0.04% by weight of cement. The fiber (of 12 mm) length was used, which in unexploited state looks like bundles of filaments. The solution was stirred for 5 minutes until a homogeneous mixture was obtained, after which it was compacted on a vibration table to remove air bubbles and to reduce the number of pores. All series of samples for testing within 28 days were in the laboratory. According to the data obtained it follows that the composite tensile strength with 2% of fibre increases more than in 2 times compared with the base unreinforced material. Comparison of theoretical estimations of the composite strength with experimental data testifies high enough reliability of the predicted strength calculated for the scheme developed in the work.
