Effects of Poly Vinyl Alcohol Fibers on Fracture Energy of Concrete
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Among all the advantageous of concrete elements improving ductility and energy absorption has always been a great challenge. These papers reports on an experimental study of poly vinyl alcohol fibers effects on fracture energy of concrete and its comparison with steel fiber reinforced concretes. Energy absorption and toughness of the concrete was measured according to ASTM C1018-97 standard test method. Impact resistant evaluated on specimens according to ACI 544 modified drop weight test. Compressive strength and stress strain curve from uniaxial compressive loading were also measured. Stress strain curve in uniaxial compressive tests are reported. Load deflection curve from 4 point bending test presented and analyzed.
