Laboratory testing of steel fibre reinforced shotcrete
نویسندگان
چکیده
Uniaxial and triaxial compression tests on steel fibre reinforced shotcrete (SFRS) have been used to quantify the elastic–plastic response behaviour for both the peak and post-peak regions. The laboratory tests were conducted with a servo-controlled testing machine to obtain complete stress–strain curves. The test results include unconfined and triaxial compressive strengths, shear strengths and tensile strengths together with the elastic and plastic mechanical properties of SFRS. A method is also suggested for obtaining the plasticity parameters for non-linear modelling of SFRS. & 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

متن کاملAnalytical Assessment of the Behaviour of the Masonry Wall Strengthed by Steel Mesh and Shotcrete
An effective approach for strengthening masonry buildings is to apply shotcrete reinforced with mesh on the surface of the wall. It is not possible to assess the behaviour of coated walls solely using analytical approaches based on simple equations of theory of elasticity without the use of numerical methods. Unreinforcced masonry wall is modelled in this study using the finite element softwar...
