Concrete for Tunnel Liners: Behavior of Fiber Reinforced Quick Setting Cement Concrete
This study was undertaken to determine the behavior of steel fiber reinforced, quick-setting cement concretes and provide information on these materials for application in tunnel liners. The use of expansive cement, special fiber geometries, fiber orientation by vibration and postcracking behavior in compression as related to tunnels are briefly discussed. A Catalog of Standard Mixes for tunnel liner concretes is introduced. Strength, handling time and elastic properties are reported for pumpable mix designs with 3/8-in. (10-mm) maximum-sized aggregate with regulated-set cement and 0.9, 1.2 and 1.5 volume percent steel fiber reinforcement.
