Abstract

In order to compare the development performance of headed reinforcing bar and straight reinforcing bar in tension for steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC), pullout test of specimens with reinforcing bar which was anchored on simple beam perpendicularly was conducted. The experimental variables were steel fiber volume ratio (VRsf), concrete compressive strength, and existence of head. As the result of test, splitting failure of concrete in the development direction of reinforcing bar in most specimens was observed. For development detail of headed reinforcing deformation bar, specimens with 1% VRsf showed approximately 63%~119% increase in pullout strength compare to specimens with 0% VRsf. Test result shows that SFRC is more effective in increasing pullout strength for headed reinforcing bars than increasing pullout strength of straight bars.
