Funded Activity Summary

Strength and Ductility of Steel Fibre Reinforced HSC Columns. Research has identified two problems in the use of HSC in columns; they are early spalling of the concrete cover and ductility. Ductility is an important feature of any structural member as it guards against unforeseen overload and sudden collapse. The provision of steel fibres has the potential to alleviate, if not solve, both problems. However, little research has been undertaken on the use of steel fibres in columns and questions such as the quantity of fibres needed to control cover spalling and the degree that fibre reinforcement aids ductility remain largely unexplored. These issues are addressed in this project.
