Abstract:

Fiber concrete is widely preferred in various industrial applications, factory pavements, gas stations, and prefabricated concrete applications thanks to the high flexural strength and high tensile strength of the fibers used in its content. In this study, the flexural strengths of randomly oriented glass and steel fiber concretes with the same workability and concrete composites containing layered steel wire and glass fiber mesh were investigated. By using 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% fiber by volume, randomly oriented glass and steel fiber concrete groups were formed Laminated concrete composites containing steel wire or glass fiber meshes are produced with 3, 5 and 7 layers to be equivalent to the fiber volume of randomly oriented glass or steel fiber concretes. When the results are examined; It has been determined that the flexural strength of laminated fiber concrete composites is higher than the flexural strength of randomly oriented fiber concrete with the same workability, regardless of fiber type, and it has been determined that no chemical additives are required in the production of laminated fiber concrete composites for high flexural strength and suitable workability. In addition, it has been determined that the flexural strength of the laminated steel wire concrete composites is higher than the flexural strength of the laminated glass fiber concrete composites and the number of layers affects the flexural strength results in more in the steel wire concrete composites.
