Introduction
4
Fibres for concrete , they appear in all colours , shapes, sizes and materials.
Specific technical strenghts and weakness of the different fibres, are often less wellknown, and lead to confusion.
They is no good and bad product but the right product for the right used
So it is also important to specified and test the right performance according the project requirement
Which testing method for which information and why ?
Which type of fibre for which application ?

1. Sufficient exchange surface (number, length, diameter of fibres).
2. The nature of the fibre-matrix interface allows for proper loadtransfer.
3. The intrinsic mechanical properties (Young’s modulus,anchorageand tensile strength) of the fibre allows the forces to be absorbedwithout breaking or excessively elongating the fibre.
Therefore, for efficient load transfer, the following three conditions must be satisfied:
The behaviour of fibre reinforced concrete is more than a simple superposition of thecharacteristics of the concrete matrix and the fibres; to analyse the behaviour of this compositematerial, also the interaction between both has to be taken into account, i.e. the transfer ofloads from the concrete matrix to the fibre system.
Behaviour of Fibre Reinforced Concrete

The quality of steel fibre is due to a combination of factorsA high length-diameter ratio (L/D ratio)
Controlled pull-out (due to deformation of the hook)
High tensile strength steel
Hooked ends
A system of glued fibre bundles enables fibres with a high L/D ratio to be mixed easily and uniformly throughout the concrete

Which testing method for which information and why
The different ways of specifying the ductility of fibre reinforced sprayed concrete in terms of residual strength and energy absorption capacity are not directly comparable.
The residual strength must be specified when the concrete characteristics are used in a structural design model
The energy absorption value measured on a plate with continuous support (Underterminal Panel test) can be specified when, in the case of rock-bolting, emphasis is laid on energy which has to be absorbed during the deformation on the rock”.

The reference design documents
14
Model Code 2010 – 5.6.3 ClassificationThe post-cracking residual strenghts can be classified by using two parameters, namely fR,1k
(representing the strength interval) and a letter a, b, c e d (representing the ratio fR,3k / fR,1k). Thestrength interval is defined by two subsequent numbers in the series:
1,0, 1,5, 2,0, 2,5, 3,0, 4,0, 5,0, 6,0, 7,0, 8,0 (MPa)
while the letter a, b, c, d correspond to the residual strength ratios:
a if 0,5 ≤ fR,3k / fR,1k ≤ 0,7
b if 0,7 ≤ fR,3k / fR,1k ≤ 0,9
c if 0,9 ≤ fR,3k / fR,1k ≤ 1,1
d if 1,1 ≤ fR,3k / fR,1k ≤ 1,3
e if 1,3 ≤ fR,3k / fR,1k
The designer has to specify the class, the residual strength ratio and the material of the fibre.
Fiber reinforcement can substitute (also partially) conventional reinforcement at ultimate limitstate if the following relationships are fullfilled:
fR,1k / fLk > 0,4 fR,3k / fR,1k > 0,5

TEST SCALE 1 : CONCENTRATED LOAD
The first crack appeared for a load level of 1000 kN (for each steel pad) between the two shoes at the top and extrados surface. It has to remark that the first crack occurred at a load level higher than the design value (785 kN) and the maximum load of the TBM (1100 kN);
The maximum crack width at the end of the test, after the complete unloading, was about 0.05 mm

Conclusion FRS is an important high performance method of ground support
Quality and safety can be achieved using the relevant product
for the right use
Relevant testing method to determine engineering properties
and for quality control
Design standard
The use of the finished material should be considered along with the test
and performance criteria
post crack behavior ,
match crack widths and deformation in the test to expectations in the
project and durability requirement
Right fibre for the right use
Conclusion
