Use of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete in Containment and Explosive-Resistant Structures
The results of several investigations of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) under explosive loading are presented. Tests using high explosives were performed by the U.S. Corps of Engineers to compare reinforced concrete slabs using conventional concrete to similar slabs using SFRC. The conventional slabs containing SFRC retained their integrity even though severely damaged. Similar results were obtained with explosive tests on slabs by Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, impact loading by a pendulum-type impact machine, ballistic impact by small arms fire, impulsive loading on beams and a drop weight impact test. Use of SFRC in a reactor containment structure is reviewed. Design aids and potential applications of SFRC for blast resistance in structures are listed. (Author)
