Abstract EN
The research was initiated to investigate the performance of fiber-reinforced concrete for protecting people or assets in the building against the explosion or debris missiles.
The fiber-reinforced concrete has the difficulty with being applied in the actual construction conditions with the normal ready-mixed concrete system.
The fibers for the protection performance require high toughness to endure the huge energy from an explosion, but the large amount of the fiber is required.
The required amount of fibers can result in decreased workability and insufficient dispersion of fibers.
It has been difficult to apply fiber-reinforced concrete on field placing with the ready-mixed concrete system of plant mixing, delivering, and placing.
This research carried out the investigation of properties of combined fiber of steel and polymeric fiber to improve workability and agitating in the mixer.
Based on the preliminary experimental test results in a laboratory, combined fiber-reinforced concrete was applied on the actual field construction of chemical plant.
According to the results from the laboratory tests and application in the real construction project, it is expected to introduce the combined fiber for desirable mechanical performance with less adverse effect on workability of the mixture.
