Executive Summary | Steel reinforcement is generally embedded in concrete for preventing concrete members from failing brittlely in shear or tension forces. However, the reinforcement may cause localization of cracks and stress concentration because it is located linearly in concrete. To overcome the problem,mixing PVA short fibers with concrete is focused in this study to achieve ductile concrete members. Improvement of structural performance of concrete members supplementarily reinforced by PVA short fibers has been experimentally confirmed by the authors. For ensuring the performance improvement, it is prerequisite to confirm the constructability of PVA short fiber reinforced concrete such as mixing, transporting, casting, curing, etc. |
