Abstract
The impact resistance variations of high-strength steel fiber-reinforced concrete (HSFRC), versus those of high-strength concrete (HSC), commanded this research. The impact resistance of the high-strength steel fiber-reinforced concrete improved satisfactorily over that of the high-strength concrete; the failure strength improved most, followed by first-crack strength and percentage increase in the number of post-first-crack blows. The two concretes resembled each other on the coefficient of variation values, respectively, on the two strengths, whereas the high-strength concrete was much higher in the value on the percentage increase. The Kolmogorov–Smirnov test indicates that the high-strength concrete was approximately normally distributed in first-crack and failure strengths, high-strength steel fiber-reinforced concrete was poorly normally distributed in the two strengths, and both concretes were hardly normally distributed in the percentage increase. Finally, for both concretes, failure strength regression models were developed, and then, the accompanying 95% prediction intervals for the strength were established.
