Abstract

This paper presents the results on the influence of steel fiber on the performance of concrete materials. The performance of steel fiber reinforced concrete was studied through mechanical testing, frost resistance, carbonation and impermeability testing. Experimental results showed that steel fibers can improve compressive and flexural strengths, and especially can significantly improve flexural strength. Frost resistance can also be improved, and the higher the volume of steel fibers added, the more the freeze-thaw cycles that concrete could resist. Furthermore, steel fiber can not only slow down the carbonation rate indirectly, but also improve the impermeability of concrete, and impermeability enhanced with the increase of steel fiber.
