Funded Activity Summary

Characterisation of shear and tensile fracture of ultra-high performance fibre reinforced concrete. This project aims to investigate the shear-tension interaction performance of ultra-high performance fibre reinforced concrete (UHPFRC). In January 2014, the draft Australian Standard for the design of concrete bridges was released; this is the first standard in Australia, and one of the first in the world, to include comprehensive design procedures for steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC). Rules allow conventional, strain softening SFRC, but exclude the use of strain hardening UHPFRC because of insufficient research on core aspects of the materials when conventionally reinforced. The study expects to provide vital data engineers and Standards bodies need to adopt UHPFRC.
