Flexural and Flexural Toughness of Fiber Reinforced Concrete- American Standard Specifications Review
Journal Title: GRD Journal for Engineering - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Fibers used to enhance the brittleness property of steel reinforced concrete and plain concrete, and modify the tensile strength by increasing work of fracture. Thus, the toughness measurements are valuable for assessing the post crack performance of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC). There are many international standard around the world, but this paper are focuses on review the American standard specifications via exclusive ASTM. The review involve the flexural strength testing methods and toughness testing methods for FRC. For flexural strength test, the ASTM C 78 and ASTM C 293 reviewed and compared between both, while for toughness the ASTM C 1018, ASTM C 1609, ASTM C 1399 and ASTM C 1550 reviewed. This paper also describes concisely the method for each testing and considerable advantages of these methods. Beside, abridged some limitation of these methods. All figures have been redrawn with inserted more details to be most obvious and more rich.
