Abstract
The flexural performance of four Hybrid (H-) Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concretes (UHPFRCs) with different macro fibers was investigated according to ASTM standards C1018-97 and C 1609/C 1609M-05. Four macro fibers were long smooth (LS-) steel fiber, two types of hooked (HA- and HB-) steel fibers, and twisted (T-) steel fibers while one type of micro fiber, short smooth (SS-) steel fiber, was blended. The enhancements in modulus of rupture, deflection capacity and energy absorption capacity were different according to the types of macro fiber as the amount of micro fiber blended increased. The order of flexural performance of H-UHPFRC according to the types of macro fiber was as follows: HB- > T- > LS- > HA-fiber. The influence of strain capacity in tension on the flexural performance of H-UHPFRC was also examined. The deflection capacity and the ratio between flexural strength and tensile strength were dependent upon the strain capacity of H-UHPFRC.
