Testing of Fiber Reinforced Concrete
Also Known As:
The ACI SP-155:1990 standard is a compilation of papers presented at a symposium on the topic during the 1995 ACI Spring Convention. The symposium was co-sponsored by Committees 544, Fiber Reinforced Concrete; and 444, Experimental Analysis of Concrete Structures.
The papers in this volume discuss recent advancements in testing techniques, instrumentation, and interpretation of test results for Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC). Topics covered include the performance of FRC using ASTM C 1018, toughness of fiber-reinforced high-strength concrete from notched beam tests, comparative toughness testing of FRC, measuring toughness characteristics of SFRC and a critical view of ASTM C1018, experimental R-curves for assessment of toughening in FRC, test methods for durability of polymeric fibers in concrete and UV light exposure, restrained shrinkage tests on FRC, direct tensile strength testing of FRC mortar fractions, impact tests on cement-based fiber reinforced composites, measurement of pullout force at different rates of loading, testing applied to the evaluation of damage to FRC and other material systems caused by large missile impact to building envelopes during storm events, and FRC testing for practical applications.
The standard also includes SI (metric) tables and an index for easy reference.
