Abstract
This paper examines the direct tensile behavior of ultra high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) according to the addition of hybrid-type steel fibers with different lengths and diameters but identical aspect ratio. Two types of steel fibers that are MS fiber with length of 20 mm and diameter of 0.2 mm and LS fiber with length of 22 mm and diameter of 0.22 mm are adopted and admixed together with different proportions to give three series of mixes (MS10LS05, MS075LS075, MS05LS10). Direct tensile test is conducted on specimens using each of the considered mixes and notched on both sides. The results show that the tensile strength and the energy absorption capacity of UHPFRC tend to increase with larger proportions of relatively long steel fibers.
