    FIBRE REINFORCED CONCRETE*

    iber reinfor!ed !on!rete =&*> is !on!rete !ontainin fibrous material whi!h

    in!reases its stru!tural interity.So we !an define fibre reinfor!ed !on!rete as a

    !omposite material of !ement !on!rete or mortar and dis!ontinuous dis!rete and

    uniformly dispersed fibre.

    ibre is dis!rete material ha+in some !hara!teristi! properties. he fibre

    material !an be anythin. But not all will be effe!ti+e and e!onomi!al. Some

    fibres that are most !ommonly used are7

    Steel fibre is one of the most !ommonly used fibre. @enerally round fibres are

    used. he diameter may +ary from 0.2A to 0.7Amm.he steel fibre sometimes

    ets rusted and lose its strenth. But in+estiations ha+e pro+ed that fibres et

    rusted only at surfa!es. It has hih modulus of elasti!ity. Use of steel fibres

    ma5es sinifi!ant impro+ements in fle9ure, impa!t and fatiue strenth of

    !on!rete. It has been used in +arious types of stru!tures.

    @lass fibre is a re!ently introdu!ed fibre in ma5in fibre !on!rete. It has +ery

    hih tensile strenth of 1020 to /00:pa. @lass fibre !on!retes are mainly use in

    e9terior buildin faCade panels and as ar!hite!tural pre!ast !on!rete. his

    material is +ery ood in ma5in shapes on the front of any buildin and it is less

    HISTORY*

    he use of fibers to in!rease the stru!tural properties of !onstru!tion material is

    not a new pro!ess. rom an!ient times fibres were bein used in !onstru!tion. In

    B*, horse hair was used to reinfor!e mortar. %yptians used straw in mud

    bri!5s to pro+ide additional strenth. 'sbestos was used in the !on!rete in the

    early 1Hth

    !entury, to prote!t it from formation of !ra!5s. But in the late 1Hth

    !entury, due to in!reased stru!tural importan!e, introdu!tion of steel

    reinfor!ement in !on!rete was made, by whi!h the !on!ept of fibre reinfor!ed

    !on!rete was o+er loo5ed for A-6 de!ades. ;ater in 1H3H the introdu!tion steelrepla!in asbestos was made for the first time. But at that period it was not

    su!!essful. rom 1H60, there was a tremendous de+elopment in the &*,

    mainly by the introdu!tion of steel fibres. Sin!e then use of different types of

    fibres in !on!rete was made. In 1H70Ds prin!iples were de+eloped on the

    wor5in of the fibre reinfor!ed !on!rete. ;ater in 1H0Ds !ertified pro!ess was

    de+eloped for the use of &*. In the last de!ades, !odes reardin the &* are

    bein de+eloped.

    BRIDGING ACTION*

    )ullout resistan!e of fibres =dowel a!tion> is important for effi!ien!y. )ullout

    strenth of fibres sinifi!antly impro+es the post-!ra!5in tensile strenth of!on!rete. 's an &* beam or other stru!tural element is loaded, fibres bride

    the !ra!5s. Su!h bridin a!tion pro+ides the &* spe!imen with reater

    ultimate tensile strenth and, more importantly, larer touhness and better

    enery absorption.

    'n important benefit of this fibre beha+iour is material damae toleran!e.

    Bayasi and Jaiser =2001> performed a study where damae toleran!e fa!tor is

    defined as the ratio of fle9ural resistan!e at 2-mm ma9imum !ra!5 width to

    strenth of S&* !ould be either smaller or larer than its first !ra!5in

    strenth.

    @enerally, there are three staes of the load-defle!tion response of S&*

    spe!imens tested in fle9ure. he three staes are7

    1. ' more or less linear response up to point '. he strenthenin

    me!hanism in this portion of the beha+iour in+ol+es a transfer of s tress

    from the matri9 to the fibres by interfa!ial shear. he imposed stress is

    shared between the matri9 and fibres until the matri9 !ra!5s at what is

    termed as Qfirst !ra!5in strenthQ or Qproportional limitQ.

    2. ' transition nonlinear portion between point ' and the ma9imum load

    !apa!ity at point B =assumin the load at B is larer than the load at '>.

    In this portion, and after !ra!5in, the stress in the matri9 is proressi+ely

    transferred to the fibres. 8ith in!reasin load, the fibres tend to radually

    pull out from the matri9 leadin to a nonlinear load-defle!tion response

    until the ultimate fle9ural load !apa!ity at point B is rea!hed. his point

    based on the me!hani!s of the !omposite materials and relates the Qproportional

    limitQ to the +olume fra!tion of the fibre, aspe!t ratio and fibre orientation.

    Smmar! Fiber reinforced concrete is one of the oldest methods for reinforcing concrete

    The main purpose of fiber reinforcement is to increases its structural integrity and improve

    flexural behavior There are many different types of fiber that can be used for concrete reinforcement.

    Is an economical way to reinforced concrete compared to regular steel.
