AbstractHybridFiberReinforcedConcrete (HFRC)is formedfromacombination ofdifferenttypesoffibres,which differinmaterial properties,remain bondedtogetherwhen addedinconcreteandretaintheiridentitiesandproperties.

Thecombining offibers,oftencalledhybridization,is investigatedforaM60gradeconcreteatavolumefractionof 4%NanoSilca,Steel fiber(1,1.25,1.5%)andpolypropylene fiber(0.03,0.06,0.09%)inthisproject.Control andfourhybrid fibercomposites werecastusingdifferentfiberproportionsof steelandpolypropylene.Compressive strength,splittensile strengthandflexuralstrengthtest wereperformedandresults wereanalyzedtoassociatewithabove fibercombinations. Basedonexperimental studies,theprojectidentifiesfiber combinations thatdemonstrate maximumcompressive,split tensile andflexuralstrengthofconcrete.Inadditiontothe above,SEM imagesarepresented.

  1. HistoryofHFRC

    The concept of using fibres as reinforcement is not new. Fibreshavebeenusedasreinforcementsinceancient times. Historically,horsehairwasusedinmortar andstrawinmud bricks.Intheearly 1900s,asbestos fibreswereusedin concrete,therewasaneedtofindareplacement forthe asbestos used inthe concreteandotherbuildingmaterialsonce thehealth risksassociatedwiththesubstance werediscovered.

    Bythe 1960s,steel, glass,andsynthetic fibressuchas polypropylenefibreswereusedinconcrete, andresearchinto newfibre reinforced concretescontinuestoday.

  2. AdvantagesofHybridFibreReinforcedConcrete

    1. Toprovide asysteminwhichone typeoffibre,thisis stronger and stiffer, improves the first cracks stress and ultimatestrength,andthesecondtypesoffibre,whichismore flexible,andductile leadstoimprovedtoughnessandstainin thepastcrackingzone.

    2. To provide hybridreinforcement inwhichone typeoffibre issmaller, sothatitbridgesthemicrocracksofwhichgrowth canbecontrolled. Thisleadstoahighertensile strengthofthe composite. Thesecondtypeoffibreislarger,sothatitarrests thepropagatingmicrocracksandcansubstantiallyimprove thetoughnessofthecomposite.

    3. Toprovideahybridreinforcement,inwhichthedurability offibretypeisdifferent.Thepresenceofthe durablefibrecan increasethestrength andtoughnessrelation after age whilethe othertypeistoguaranteetheshorttermperformance during transportationandinstallationofthecompositeelements.

  3. ApplicationofHybrid FibreReinforcedConcrete HFRCcanbeusedinanykindofconstruction becauseofits unique Propertiesandalsoasitveryeasytoobtainhighrange ofstrengthvalues.Someofthepioneeringapplications areas follows
