Fiber Reinforced Concrete Developments and Innovations
Also Known As:
ACI SP-142:1994 is a collection of fifteen papers that address various aspects of fiber reinforced concrete. This standard defines fiber reinforced concrete as concrete made primarily of hydraulic cements, aggregates, and discrete reinforcing fibers, but excludes materials reinforced with continuous meshes, woven fabrics, or continuous fiber networks.
The table of contents of ACI SP-142:1994 includes a range of topics, such as the comparison of shrinkage cracking performance of different types of fibers and wire mesh, the effect of low addition rates of polypropylene fibers on plastic shrinkage cracking and mechanical properties of concrete, the toughness of slurry infiltrated fibrous concrete (SIFCON), and the tensile and compressive strengths of polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete.
Other subjects covered in this standard include the durability characteristics of cellulose fiber reinforced cement composites, carbon fiber reinforced cements, flexural behavior of carbon fiber reinforced cement composites, shear capacity of fiber reinforced concrete based on plasticity of concretes, and the influence of test control on the load-deflection behavior of fiber reinforced concrete.
ACI SP-142:1994 also explores the shear behavior of laboratory-sized high strength concrete beams reinforced with bars and steel fibers, the behavior of fiber reinforced high strength concrete under direct shear, ultra-high-performance reinforced concrete, constitutive modeling of fiber reinforced concrete, analytical deflection evaluation of partially prestressed fiber reinforced concrete beams, and the dynamic tension fatigue performance of fibrous concrete composites.
