The influence of steel fibre amount on the consistency, volume changes and compressive strength of concrete

Abstract
The paper focuses on the consistency of fresh steel fibre reinforced concrete in relation to the amount of steel fibre used. Consistency was determined by the slump test and the flow table test. Furthermore, the paper deals with monitoring the compressive strength and volume changes during the maturing process of steel fibre reinforced concrete. Volume changes were monitored using a shrinkage drain. The results of the steel fibre reinforced concrete properties are compared with the values of the reference concrete without fibres and with each other. The result is an evaluation of how the amount of fibre affects the properties of fresh and hardened concrete. The dependence between consistency, compressive strength and shrinkage of steel fibre reinforced concrete is also established.
