✦ Synopsis

This research discusses the effects of both steel fibre and matrix strengths on fracture energy of highstrength concrete. The variables of experimental study were water/cement ratio, steel fibre strength and steel fibre volume fraction. The water/cement ratios of 0.35, 0.45 and 0.55, and steel fibres with a tensile strengths of 1100 and 2000 MPa were used and volume fractions of steel fibre were 0.33%, 0.67% and 1%. Mechanical properties, fracture energy and characteristic length of concretes were investigated.

Significant influences of matrix and fibre tensile strengths on the fracture energy and the characteristic length are noted.

A new experimental method for testing the dynamic tensile behavior of concrete at high strain rates was designed and established. By using this method, the dynamic tensile strength of concrete and its dependence on strain rates were measured and investigated. The experimental results indicate that t
