Abstract
This study investigates the flexural behavior of Ultra-High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) with hybrid steel fiber referencing the ASTM standard C 1609. Two types of end-hooked fibers in macro fiber concretes and one type short straight fiber in micro fiber concretes were used in mono and hybrid forms. In order to determine the flexural response of UHPFRC, a series of prismatic beam specimens with a dimension of 100 x 100 x 400 mm were tested under the four-point loading and following parameters were compared and discussed in terms of the first cracking load and pattern, flexural strength, deflection capacity, toughness and residual strength capacity under bending loads. The test results showed that as the fiber amount of specimens with the mono fiber increases, in general, better flexural behavior may be ensured. It should be also noted that the hybrid use enhanced the flexural behavior compared to the macro fiber usage.
期刊介绍:
The scope of Teknik Dergi is naturally confined with the subjects falling in the area of civil engineering. However, the area of civil engineering has recently been significantly enlarged, even the definition of civil engineering has somewhat changed.
Half a century ago, engineering was simply defined as “the art of using and converting the natural resources for the benefit of the mankind”. Today, the same objective is expected to be realised (i) by complying with the desire and expectations of the people concerned and (ii) without wasting the resources and within the sustainability principles. This change has required an interaction between engineering and social and administrative sciences. Some subjects at the borderline between civil engineering and social and administrative sciences have consequently been included in the area of civil engineering.
Teknik Dergi defines its scope in line with this understanding. However, it requires the papers falling in the borderline to have a significant component of civil engineering.
