Self-compacting high-performance fiber concrete for foundations: Part 1 -experimental verification and design considerations

An investigation is carried out into the applicability of self-compacting high-performance fiber concrete (HPFC) in foundations. A concrete mixture has been designed with a concrete cube strength of about 110 MPa. The concrete contains 60 kg/m³ steel fibers. The properties of the HPFC developed are very suitable for structural...

Self-compacting high-performance fiber concrete for foundations: Part 2—Fiber orientation and distribution

An investigation was executed into the applicability of self-compacting high performance fiber concrete in foundations. The applied concrete has a concrete cube strength of about 110 MPa and contains 60 kg/m³ hooked-end steel fibers (<i>L</i>_<i>F</i> = 30 mm, <i>D</i>_<i>F</i> = 0.38 mm). This publication consists...

Comparison of failure modes below footings on carbonate and silica sands

To investigate the differences in failure mechanisms beneath vertically loaded shallow foundations on silica and carbonate sands by way of particle image velocimetry analysis, 1g and centrifuge model tests have been performed. A comparison of silica and carbonate sand behaviour at low stresses and low initial soil density was made possible by 1g...
