AIM
an case study of steel fibre reinforced concrete
subjected to high temperature, especially focusing on
residual behaviour. Compressive strength, split tensile
strength and ultimate bending strength were evaluated.
The specimens were heated by ceramic heaters and then
repacked for testing. Compressive strength of SFRC is
reduced by 38% and by 66%, tensile strength is reduced
by 25% and 59%, and ultimate bending force is reduced
by 33% and 56% in case of 400°C and 600°C,
respectively.
 Microstructure is the very small scale structure of a
material, defined as the structure of a prepared surface of
material as revealed by a microscope above 25×
magnification.
 The exposure of concrete to high temperatures, such as in a
fire, leads to physical and chemical changes, which may
cause deterioration of mechanical properties, cracking and
spalling. This project presents a critical review of micro-
structural changes in concrete exposed to high temperature.
 Addition of steel fibres to concrete improves properties
of concrete. The lack of information considering tensile
and post cracking behaviour of SFRC at elevated
temperatures due to fire is an obstacle on the use of this
composite material
 conclusion
 It was clearly observed that there is a good connection
between hydrated cement matrix and steel fiber in
interfacial zone of SFRC. This case supplied to strongly
bond between steel and concrete because of wavy face
on steel fiber in polarizing microscopy image of SFRC.
 Flexural strength of concretes showed a considerable
increase depending on the increase of fiber Volume
fraction and concrete age. The flexural strength
enhanced also by increasing the aspect ratio.
 First crack width has also affected by fiber content,
aspect ratio and concrete age similar to bending
strength. The crack development in bending
considerably reduced by increasing the concrete age
and fiber volume fraction in concrete due to
developing of strength and bond.
 Aspect ratio has significantly effect on the first crack
development in bending, especially in low fiber
volume fractions. But its influence decreased by
increasing the fiber content from 0.2 to 0.8% by
volume of concrete.
