PASSING ABILITY OF SELF-COMPACTING STEEL FIBRE REINFORCED CONCRETE
The size of the components of self-compacting fibre reinforced concrete(SCFRC)relative to the bar spacing affects the passing ability.To be most effective in the hardened state,fibres have to be larger than the aggregates.Usually,the optimum fibre length is 2-4 times that of the maximum aggregate size.This aspect has to be taken into account when designing structural elements cast with self-compacting fibre reinforced concrete(SCFRC).In an experimental study the effect of the mixture composition,the type and the content of the steel fibres on the minimum bar spacing required to counteract blocking was studied.The J-ring in combination with the slump flow test was applied to determine the bar spacing at which blocking occurs.Based on the results,a model is developed that allows predicting the minimum bar spacing for SCFRC.It takes into account the content and the characteristics of the steel fibres and the aggregates.
