Flexural Behaviour of Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete Tunnel Linings
The promotion of steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) as a construction material for tunnel linings has prompted a number of researchers to focus on methods of evaluating their flexural strength and stiffness. This thesis presents the results of an experimental and numerical investigation of the …

Numerical Modelling of Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete Subjected to Fatigue Loading
Concrete dominates the construction industry because of its strength, durability, and versatility; however, it is weak when loaded in tension and thus susceptible to the formation of cracks when under tensile stresses. Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) improves post-cracking behaviour through …

The behaviour of steel fibre reinforced concrete material and its effect on impact resistance of slabs
Concrete structures are usually subjected to both static as a long term and dynamic as a short term loads. The impact resistance of plain concrete is low and that’s mainly due to a fairly low energy dissipating features and inadequate tensile strength. To compensate for the weak tensile properties …

An experimental study and finite analysis of punching shear failure in steel fibre-reinforced concrete ground -suspended floor slabs
… investigating the structural effect of using steel fibre-reinforcement on the punching shear behaviour of ground-suspended slabs with internal columns. The main objectives of this research were to develop a constitutive model for steel fibre-reinforcement (SFRC), to study experimentally the …

An experimental investigation into the effectiveness of steel fibre-reinforced concrete relative to conventional mesh-reinforced concrete in thin shell construction
… of an investigation into the suitability of steel-fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) as a building material. The performance of the SFRC is gauged relative to conventional steel mesh-reinforced concrete. The report begins with the historical background of fibre-reinforcing, its development and …

Short-term and time-dependent flexural behaviour of steel fibre-reinforced reactive powder concrete
… of the material and structural behaviour of a Steel-Fibre reinforced Reactive Powder Concrete (SF-RPC). The experimental program consisted of three phases. Phase 1 involved the development of a design mix for use throughout the remainder of the study. Phase 2 consisted of an in-depth …

Experimental study of UHPC with high fire resistance and meso-scale modelling
… to fire. Damage made to ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) by fire or high temperature is usually severer than normal strength concrete (NSC) or high performance concrete (HPC) due to its compact internal structure. For example, strength loss of UHPCs can reach up to 80% after exposure to …
