English Abstract

In this paper, the existing methods for predicting compressive and split tensile strength of fibrous normal strength concrete are reviewed.

This paper highlights the influence of volume fraction of combined fibre system with the same aspect ratio and ratio of long fibre to total fibre content on the compressive and tensile strength of fibrous normal strength concrete.

It also studies the main variables which affect the strength of this type of concrete statistically.

In this research, the predicted models confirmed that the steel fibre content and their aspect ratio affect the split tensile strength whereas the steel fibre, cement and sand contents affect the compressive strength.

The most important point is the inverse effect of maximum size of aggregate on the splitting tensile strength.

The proposed models in this investigation for predicting compressive and split tensile strength with the relation between them claim that they have a good agreement with results.
