Abstract
The objective of this investigation was to study the behavior of Steel Fiber Reinforcement Concrete (SFRC). Fibers are generally used as resistance of cracking and strengthening of concrete. Steel fibers give the maximum strength in comparison to glass and polypropylene fibers. From the exhaustive and extensive experimental work it was found that with increase in steel fiber content in concrete there was a tremendous increase in Flexural strength and compressive strength.The aim of our project is to use the Steel Fibers with hooked ends as Fiber reinforcement to concrete. to study the strength properties of concrete The strength properties being studied in our thesis are as follows:Steel fiber reinforcement is widely used as the main and unique reinforcing for industrial concrete floor slabs and prefabricated concrete products. It is also considered for structural purposes in the reinforcement of slabs on piles, tunnel segments, concrete cellars, foundation slabs and shear reinforcement in prestressed elements. Apart from increased load- carrying capacity, one of the main benefits of adding fibers to concrete is the potential reduction in crack width, which depends on the amount of fibers added and positively affects the durability of the finished structure. Specimens were cast without Fibers and with Fibers Tests were conducted for studying the compressive, tensile and flexural strength.
