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...
