Description for Experimental and Theoretical Investigations of Steel-Fibrous Concrete
Paperback. This book summarizes key mechanical and physical properties of steel-fibre-added concrete and reinforced concrete. It also describes a quasi-static fracture process at meso-scale both in plain concrete and fibrous concrete using a novel discrete lattice model. Editor(s): Tejchman, Jacek; Kozicki, Jan. Series: Springer Series in Geomechanics and Geoengineering. Num Pages: 280 pages, biography. BIC Classification: RBGL; RBP; TGMD. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 16. Weight in Grams: 462.
Concrete is still the most widely used construction material since it has the lowest ratio between cost and strength as compared to other available materials. However, it has two undesirable properties, namely: low tensile strength and large brittleness that cause the collapse to occur shortly after the formation of the first crack. To improve these two negative properties and to achieve a partial substitute of conventional reinforcement, an addition of short discontinuous randomly oriented steel fibres can be practiced among others. In spite of positive properties, fibrous concrete did not find such acknowledgment and application as usual concrete. There ... Read more
