| description | A study was done to identify the optimum fibre content to achieve maximum flexural
capacity of high performance concrete beam. Hook end steel fibre of diameter 0.75 mm
and 60 mm length have been used. The proportion of steel fibre that have been used are
0%, 1%, 2% and 3% by mass, this is done by adding to concrete mixture. The targeted
compressive strength of concrete is more than 70 MPa since it is high performance
concrete. A total of four tests were conducted according to BS1881. The four tests
conducted are flow table test, cube compression test, tensile splitting test and flexural
test. From the flow test, as the steel fibre content increases the flow started to decrease.
The flow result for 0%, 1%, 2% and 3% steel fibre are 654 mm, 605 mm, 584 mm and
556 mm respectively. The superplasticizer dose should be increased as steel fibre content
increase to maintain the same flow. From the compressive test, the addition of steel fibre
increases the compressive strength of high performance concrete. The optimum steel
fibre of 2% able to achieve maximum compressive strength of 105.7 MPa (14.9% gain
in compressive strength than control sample). Other than that, addition of steel fibre also
improve the tensile strength of concrete. The optimum steel fibre of 2% able to achieve
maximum tensile strength of 9.1 MPa (46.8% gain in tensile splitting strength than
control sample). Four beams of 100 mm x 300 mm x 2000 mm size were casted for the
four-point flexural test. The highest flexural strength that was obtained is 21.65 MPa
which was achieved at 2% of steel fibre. Further increase of steel fibre more than 2%
reduced the respective strength of high performance concrete. The stiffness of high
performance concrete with steel fibre is high compared to control sample before failure. |
