Concrete and Fiber Concrete Impact Strength

The results of experimental studies of the impact strength of samples of concrete and steel fiber concrete are presented. For dispersed reinforcement, three types of steel fiber were used - with bent ends, wave and flattened. Tests were conducted to determine the static and dynamic bending strength, and then - impact tests on the pendulum headstock MK-30. It was found that the impact strength increases significantly in the presence of fiber, but the type of fiber has almost no effect on it. Since specimens reinforced with a fiber content of 1.0 and 1.5% differ slightly in impact strength, 1.0% dispersed reinforcement in volume is recommended, both under static and dynamic loads.
