Abstract

Ring-type steel fibers (RSFs) of the closed circular shape, have different resistance mechanisms other than straight steel fibers. RSFs also maintain the same value of the orientation factor for the plane enclosed by the fiber ring perimeter. In this research, comparative studies were performed for the panels reinforced with RSFs and with straight steel fibers of $15kg/m^3$ and $30kg/m^3$, respectively. Resisting mechanisms of RSFs were identified and higher toughness indices were experimentally observed for the concrete panels reinforced with RSFs than with straight steel fibers. Orientation factor for the RSF was suggested. It was found that RSFs were more effective in increasing toughness for the panel specimens with relatively thinner thickness than beam specimens.

링 형태의 강섬유 (Ring-type steel fibers: 이하 RSF)는 원형의 폐곡선 형태를 갖는 강섬유로서 선형 강섬유와는 다른 저항 메카니즘을 가지며 폐곡선으로 둘러싸인 평면에 대하여 동일한 방향성을 가지는 특성을 갖는다. 이 연구에서는 섬유의 단위투입량 $15kg/m^3$과 $30kg/m^3$의 RSF 및 선형 강섬유를 혼입한 콘크리트 패널의 휨인성을 실험, 비교하였다. 파단면에서의 RSF의 저항 형태를 규명하였으며 RSF를 혼입한 패널이 선형 강섬유를 혼입한 패널에 비하여 우수한 인성값을 나타냄이 관찰되었다. RSF에 대한 방향성을 제시하였으며 RSF를 혼입한 실험체의 경우, 보 실험체에 비하여 두께가 상대적으로 얇은 패널 실험체에서 RSF가 더 효율적으로 인성 증가에 기여함이 관찰되었다.
