| Abstract | The present state of knowledge regarding the strength properties of unreinforced and fiber reinforced concrete is reported. Emphasis is placed on the behaviour of these materials under dynamic load conditions. This compilation of data serves to point out the areas where inconclusive and insufficient research has been done. Based on this, recommendations for future study and research on the dynamic properties of plain and fibrous concrete are made. Fibrous concrete with its superior tensile strength and enhanced damping properties, is found to be a better construction material under dynamic load situation. An attempt is made to study the feasibility of fibrous concrete as a construction material. Present fields of application of fiber concrete are reviewed, and possible future applications are indicated. |
