title = "Dynamic tensile properties of steel fiber reinforced concrete",
abstract = "This paper presents experimental results on three kinds of concretes, plain concrete (PC), 1.5% and 3% steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC), subjected to dynamic tensile loading. The cylinder splitting (Brazilian disc) specimens are loaded by a modified Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) with various loading rates (100-500 GPa/s). From the experiments it is found that there is a significant enhancement in tensile strength with increasing loading rates. Crack gauges mounted on the specimen showed that the average fracture velocity of 3% SFRC during the test is 730 m/s whereas that of PC is 790 m/s. Both the tensile stress history and the recovered specimen have demonstrated that SFRC has superior resistance to crack initiation and crack propagation as compared with PC.",
