Abstract

The effects of fiber reinforcenent; on the response of high strength fiber reinforced concrete in conmpression, tension and flexure are reviewed. Tradeoffs between the use of high fiber contents to achieve comiposite strength and ductility, and a reduction in matrix porosity to achieve high matrix strength are discussed. Methods used to increase composite strength include application of pressure after casting, addition of fly-ash, silica fumes and or sulerplasticizers to the cement matrix, and mixing high volurite contents of high strength stiff fibers.
