Investigation of the Flexural Strength Capacity of Concrete

Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete could be used to improve durability and toughness in concrete. Using steel fiber in production of concrete could eliminate the need for steel reinforcing. Cracking and fracturing under dynamic load could be prevented with enhancing the durability of concrete. Glass powder could improve the mechanical properties of concrete by the means of pozzolanic activity. Fly ash in concrete reduces cracking, permeability and bleeding creating high-durability concrete that is resistant to sulphates and alkali-aggregate reactions. The goal of this project is to produce high quality concrete mixture which could be resistant to dynamic loads, weathering with elimination the need for extra steel reinforcement with speeding the process of manufacturing precast elements. Steel fiber reinforced concrete has potential to reduce CO2, which is important for producing environmentally friendly concrete. This type of concrete could be widely used in infrastructure.
