Abstract
This paper presents an investigation on the effect of external sulfate attack (ESA) on the mechanical and microstructural properties of steel fiber-reinforced sprayed concrete (SFRSC). Crimped carbon steel fibers, 40 mm-long, were used as reinforcement in three different mixtures with specified fiber contents of 30 kg/m³, 60 kg/m³ and 90 kg/m³. Cylindrical specimens, drilled from SFRSC panels, were subjected to sulfate attack for up to 270 days. Double-punch tests (DPT) were used to determine the matrix crack strength and the post-crack tensile strength of the SFRSC. The effective fiber content of each specimen was determined by inductive tests and subsequently correlated with the mechanical results. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to evaluate the phases formed in the concrete pores during the sulfate attack. Results indicated that fiber reinforcement may reduce cracking due to ESA.
期刊介绍:
For concrete and other cementitious derivatives to be developed further, we need to understand the use of alternative hydraulically active materials used in combination with plain Portland Cement, sustainability and durability issues. Both fundamental and best practice issues need to be addressed.
Magazine of Concrete Research covers every aspect of concrete manufacture and behaviour from performance and evaluation of constituent materials to mix design, testing, durability, structural analysis and composite construction.
