Recently new materials, such as fiber reinforced polymer(FRP) and other composite materials are being applied in reinforcing plate or plate or prestressing cables of concrete structures. Although these new materials themselves show the excellent durability and high strength, the bond behaviour between concrete surface and FRP is not well recognized. Therefore, this paper propose a evaluation method for effective bond length between fiber reinforced polymer(FRP) and concrete. To develop the evaluation method, this paper presents a review of current evaluation methods for effective bond length. These methods are compared by single face test, expose merits and demerits. And based on them, new evaluation method was developed. Finally, the new method was compared with existing methods to verify a adequateness for evaluation of effective bond length.

Fractionation effects of the slot-type and the hole-type screens of mutifractors were studied using a pilot multifractor. We used a slot screen of 0.15 mm, and two hole screens of 1.0 and 2.0 mm, respectively, in the study. We found hole-type screens were more effective for fractionation of fiber furnishes according to their fiber lengths. Slot-type screen was more effective to remove the shives from the accepted fiber furnishes. There existed a high regression coefficient between the fiber length differences and the freeness differences of the accepted and the rejected fiber furnishes.

This study discusses the flexural performance of rehabilitated composite sections, consisting originally of R/C beams and subsequently strengthened by, Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Polymers(FRPs) and adhesives. Experimentations were peformed with 8 specimens to compare the rehabilitated effect of the length of FRPs, 2plies of FRPs, and 3plies of FRPs. The results show that the increase of the FRP strengthening length is effective on the flexural capacity and strength. Also, R.C beams retrofitted with hybrid FRPs are more effective on the increase of flexural capacity, strength, stiffness, and ductility than with a single kind of FRPs.

Specialty cellulose fibers processed for the reinforcement of concrete offer relatively high levels of elastic modulus and bond strength. The hydrophilic surfaces of specialty cellulose fibers facilitate their dispersion and bonding in concrete. Specialty cellulose fibers have small effective diameters which are comparable to the cement particle size, and thus promote close packing and development of dense bulk and interface microstructure in the matrix. The relatively high surface area and the close spacing of specialty cellulose fibers when combined with their desirable mechanical characteristic make them quite effective in the suppression and stabilization of microcracks in the concrete matrix. The properties of fresh mixed specialty cellulose fiber reinforced concrete and the contribution of specialty cellulose fiber to the restrained shrinkage crack reduction potential of cement composites at early age and theirs evaluation are presented in this paper. Results indicated that specialty cellulose fiber reinforcement showed an ability to reduce the total area significantly (as compared to plain concrete and polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete.

Thermally expanded core fiber (TEC-fiber) Bragg gratings have been fabricated and their transmission spectrums have been analyzed. The measured spectrum shows the characteristic peak splitting caused by the grating pair formed over the expanded section that has the effective index axial distribution, which could be employed for high resolution fiber sensors. An analysis on the spectrum can also give useful informations on the effective index profile of the TEC-fiber.

This paper presents an analytical procedure for the analysis of high strength steel fiber reinforced concrete members considering the cracking effect in the serviceability loading range. Modifications to a previously proposed formula for the effective moment of inertia are presented. Shear deformation effect is also taken into account in the analysis, and the variation of shear stiffness in the cracked regions of members has been considered by reduced shear stiffness model. The effect of steel fibers on the behavior of reinforced concrete members have been investigated by the developed computer program based on the aforementioned procedure. The inclusion of steel fibers into high strength concrete beams and columns enhances the effective moment of inertia and consequently reduces the deflection reinforced concrete members. The contribution of the shear deformation to the total vertical deflection of the beams is found to be lower for beams with fibers than that of beams with no fibers. Verification of the proposed procedure has been confirmed from series of reinforced concrete beam and column tests available in the literature. The analytical procedure can provide an accurate and efficient prediction of deflections of high strength steel fiber reinforced concrete members due to cracking under service loads. This procedure also forms the basis for the three dimensional analysis of frames with steel fiber reinforced concrete members.

The Early-age construction loading and changing properties of concrete, especially in the multi-story structures can affect the slab deflection, significantly. Based on previously conducted experiment on eight simply-supported one-way slabs this paper investigates the effect of concrete type, fiber type and content, loading value, cracking moment, ultimate moment and applied moment on the instantaneous deflection of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) slabs. Two distinct loading levels equal to 30% and 40% of the ultimate capacity of the slab section were applied on the slabs at the age of 14 days. A wide range of the existing models of the effective moment of inertia which are mainly developed for conventional concrete elements, were investigated. Comparison of the experimental deflection values with predictions of the existing models shows considerable differences between the recorded and estimated instantaneous deflection of SCC slabs. Calculated elastic deflection of slabs at the ages of 14 and 28 days were also compared with the experimental deflection of slabs. Based on sensitivity analysis of the effective parameters, a new model is proposed and verified to predict the effective moment of inertia in SCC slabs with and without fiber reinforcing under two different loading levels at the age of 14 days.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of chitosan and NOCC from different sources and of different molecular weights on cadmium toxicity. Sprague-Dawley rats were blocked into 26 groups according to body weight, and were raised for 4 weeks. Cadmium chloride was given at the level of 0 or 400 ppm in diet. Various forms of chitosan and NOCC were given at the level of 0 or 4%(w/w) of diet. Cd toxicity was alleviated by various chitosan and NOCC supplements. However, the alleviating effects were different with fiber source(crab and shrimp), type(chitosan and NOCC), and molecular weight (low, medium, and high). Molecular weight had no significant effect. Compared with shrimp-source-fiber-fed groups, crab-source-fiber-fed groups showed lower Cd concentrations in blood and kidney, lower kidney metallothionein concentration, and lower liver and kidney MT-Cd contents. Compared with NOCC -fed groups, chitosan-fed groups showed lower intestine and liver Cd concentrations, lower liver and kidney MT concentrations and MT-Cd content, and higher fecal Cd excretion. Among cadmium-exposed group, low molecular weight shrimp chitosan group showed low Cd concentrations of liver and kidney, high fecal Cd excretions, and the lowest intestine and liver MT concentrations and liver MT-Cd content. In summary, a crab source fiber was more effective than shrimp source fiber, chitosan was more effective than NOCC, and the most effective one in alleviating Cd toxicity was low molecular weight shrimp chitosan.

The result of an experimental study on the mechanical properties of different types of polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete are presented in this paper. This study has been performed to obtain the properties of PFRC such as slump, Vee-Bee time, compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, toughness and resistance to impact. The test variables are fiber content, fiber types, fiber length and W/C ratio. Polypropylene fibers were effective in reinforcing the matrix. A remarkable increase in toughness was observed by the addition of polypropylene fibers.

This paper is concentrated on the behaviors of five different types of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) in uniaxial tension and flexural impact. The complete stress-strain responses in tension were acquired through a systematic experimental program. It was found that the tensile peak strains of concrete with micro polyethylene (PEF) fiber are about 18-31% higher than that of matrix concrete, those for composite with macro polypropylene fiber is 40-83% higher than that of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC). The fracture energy of composites with micro-fiber is 23-67% higher than that of matrix concrete; this for macro polypropylene fiber and steel fiber FRCs are about 150-210% and 270-320% larger than that of plain concrete respectively. Micro-fiber is more effective than macro-fiber for initial crack impact resistance; however, the failure impact resistance of macro-fiber is significantly larger than that of microfiber, especially macro-polypropylene-fiber.
