Abstract
The study specializes in the area of mechanical properties of select fibre reinforcement concrete. For the research fibre concrete reinforced with short steel fibres was used without bending. Fibre concrete is produced in the dosing 40 and 75 kg/m3. Laboratory program includes a complete group of tests, i.e. concrete compressive strength in cubes, three-point bending test, and split tension strength perpendicular and parallel to filling direction. Results are processed in summary, and they also include fracture-mechanical parameters needed for structural modelling. The research carried out found the positive influence of fibre on tensile strength and fracture energy. However, with more fibre, only fracture energy increases. It has also been found that the effect on compressive strength is small. For numerical modelling, the suitability of using a 3D computational model in combination with the fracture-plastic material model for fibre reinforcement concrete was verified.
