Mechanical reinforcement of concrete with bi-component fibers
For some applications the reinforcement of concrete with fibers is an economical alternative to conventional steel bar reinforcement. Steel fibers have been the first choice for many years because of their high tensile strength and high elastic modulus. Low modulus fibers, such as polyolefin based fibers generally are thought to be less suitable for this purpose. However, it is shown that polyolefin fibers with sufficient tensile strength can, applying a novel bi-component approach, successfully enhance the mechanical properties of concrete. The effect of the introduction of nanoparticles into the fiber polymers and of a fiber surface structuring on the fiber pull-out characteristics and the fiber-matrix bond strength is presented. The performance of bi-component fiber reinforced concrete is studied in 4-point bending and square slab tests. Ductile post-peak behavior of such fiber reinforced concrete is achieved, making this new fiber technology interesting for applications in pre-cast elements, industrial floors and earth quake protecting systems.
