Abstract
The present study is devoted to the issue of comparative assessment of bending resistance of ordinary (fine-grained) and dispersed reinforced concrete. The weak extensibility of concrete causes low crack resistance, which is a determining factor in the limited durability of concrete and reinforced concrete structures operated in adverse conditions. The paper presents the results of experimental studies that make it possible to analyze the structural properties of fiber-reinforced concrete with different levels of their volumetric reinforcement with polypropylene fibers. Experimental test data in the loading mode with a constant deformation rate of 0.05 mm/s are presented. The prototypes were tested for four-point bending at the Instron test facility with automatic recording of deflections in the middle of the span, deformations of the stretched fiber, and the construction of load-deflection and stress-strain diagrams. The technical feasibility of using polypropylene fibers as reinforcing elements in volumes that ensure the compatibility of their deformation with the concrete matrix has been determined. The conducted experimental study made it possible to establish qualitative (in terms of structure) and statistical changes in the deformation of fibrocrete, which significantly increase its ability to perceive tensile deformations.
