An Experimental Study of Flexural Behavior for Fiber Reinforced Concrete Round Panel according to the Geometry

원형패널의 단면크기에 따른 섬유보강콘크리트의 인성변화에 관한 실험 연구

The cement-based composites have relatively low tensile strength and toughness. The fiber addition is one of the most important ways of increasing the toughness of concrete. The steel fibers have been used conventionally in the shotcrete of tunnel lining. Recently, the structural synthetic fibers were developed and used frequently in some actual tunnel shotcreting in foreign countries. There are so many method to evaluate a toughness; ASTM, JCI, EFNARC, etc. But these methods contain a few defects. So most researchers are studying to develope a new toughness evaluation method. A RTA is one of these methods. The purpose of this study is to explore the strength and toughness characteristic of the fiber reinforced concrete panel according to the geometry; diameter, thickness. The result were compared with those of steel fiber reinforced concrete.
