1 Crack Control o Fibre Reinorced Concrete Presenter Biography Dr. Izni Syahrizal bin Ibrahim Working in UTM since 1998 Has been actively involved in the research o ibre reinorced concrete since 2008 Published more than 30 technical papers in International journals and conerence proceedings 1

2 What is Fibre Reinorced Concrete? Fibre Reinorced Concrete is concrete containing ibrous material which increases its structural integrity. Contains short discrete ibres that are uniormly distributed and randomly oriented. The concept o using randomly distributed ibres to reinorced concrete was pioneered in the USA. Types o ibre: carbon ibre, steel ibre, glass ibre, synthetic ibre and natural ibre. What is Fibre Reinorced Concrete? Carbon Fibre Synthetic Fibre Types o Fibre Steel Fibre Glass Fibre Natural Fibre 2

3 Types o Steel Fibre FLAT END WAVY HOOKED END TYPES OF STEEL FIBRE STRAIGHT CRIMPED The suitability o steel ibres depends on the required application Application 1 Precast slab ready to be assemble 2 Precast slab installation 3 BRC ixing 4 Concrete topping covered BRC The main idea in this research is the use o steel ibre to replace BRC in the in-situ concrete loor slab 3

4 Application Pavement Car Park Plastering Utilization o steel ibres have somehow been accepted in the construction industry, but it is limited or light duty applications Shotcrete Precast element Why Steel Fibre? With various types o steel ibres generated that dier in terms o size, shape and texture, this widens the scope o steel ibres itsel, as ibres with dierent capabilities were ound. In most o the research, it is agreed that, an addition o randomly distributed steel ibres improve concrete characteristics in: 3. Enhancing concrete ductility ater ormation o micro-cracks 1. Delaying concrete micro-cracks propagation 2. Restraining macro-cracks development 4

5 Why Steel Fibre? Unreinorced Fibre reinorced SFRC becomes common alternative in industrial looring to prevent opening o micro cracks. In concrete structures, crack growth due to loading and shrinkage ocrs at resh state. Short steel ibre will unction as a bridge by transerring tensile orces across the crack, hence, lower the stress concentration at the crack-end. Why Steel Fibre? Lapping in BRC Replace BRC with SF Advantages in Replacing BRC with Steel Fibre Reduce crack propagation as soon as microcracks appears Reduce higher dependency on oreign workers Increase the bearing capacity o the slab No problem with concrete cover Reduce slab thickness 5
