Comparison of the effect of fiber reinforcement of various types on the properties of centrifuged and vibrated products from heavy concrete class B20
Incoming article date: 24.09.2018The current state of the issue of the nomenclature of centrifuged thin-walled prefabricated reinforced concrete products of the ring configuration is analyzed. The scientific interest, which is represented by the technology of fiber reinforcement for such concretes, is grounded. The actual problems for concretes produced by the centrifugation method are indicated. A series of large-scale experimental studies has been carried out to establish the nature of the change in the properties of heavy concrete manufactured by various methods, depending on the reinforcement by different types of dispersed fibers. To systematize the accumulated experimental data, at the first stage of the investigation, products of low-strength concrete, class B20, manufactured by vibration and centrifugation, were molded and investigated, followed by a reduction to uniformity. The compressive strength and tensile strength, as well as their increments, depending on the type of reinforcing fiber-polypropylene, basalt or steel fiber, were studied. The effect on the properties of the investigated concrete of the B20 class is determined by the combination of various prescription and technological factors.
