Experimental Study on Force-Bearing Performance of Road Concrete which Modified by Fiber and Rubber Powder

Abstract

Test items include compressive strength, anti-breaking strength and split strength of standard concrete, rubber concrete and fiber-rubber concrete, and 43 groups test were conducted. In order to investigate the influence of the synergistic reaction between fiber and rubber powder on force-bearing performance of concrete used in subgrade, and different blended ratio effect on strength and extension of concrete were studied. The results indicated that with the increasing of content of 40 mesh rubber powder, the compressive strength of concrete decreasing regularly; with adding the blends of fiber and rubber powder, the anti-breaking strength and extension of concrete were promoted, as to fiber - 40 mesh rubber powder concrete, the content of rubber control less than 6%, and the fiber less than 0.5%，as to 60 mesh rubber powder -10mm fiber concrete, the content of rubber control less than 6%, and the fiber less than 0.5%; as to 60 mesh rubber powder -20mm fiber concrete, the appropriate adding quantity of rubber less than 2%, and the fiber less than 0.5%.
