Abstract

In prefabricated concrete structure, the shear performance of interfaces between prefabricated parts and cast-in-place parts needs improvement. Steel fiber self-compacting concrete is a desirable kind of concrete to solve this problem. This paper introduced Z-shape specimens with interfaces between new steel fiber self-compacting concrete part and old ordinary concrete part as direct shear experiment objects. Factors including steel fibers volume ratio and inserting rebars were also studied. The results show that the shear strengths of interfaces increase with the increases of steel fibers volume ratio, and inserting rebars can improve shear strengths and change failure form from brittle failure to ductile failure.
