Özet

In this study, the effect of inclusion of single fiber and binary, ternary and quaternary fiber hybridization on the bond performance of high strength self-compacting concrete (SCC) was investigated and 12 beam specimens having lap-spliced reinforcing bars in tension at the mid-span were designed. Four different fibers were used with different hybridizations. Fiber reinforced concrete beams demonstrated higher failure loads with a greater number of cracks. Especially the specimens with ternary fiber hybridization showed the best performance that the ultimate load resistance was 60% higher than that of the specimen without fiber. After splitting failure, the beam specimens with binary hybridization of macro steel fiber and polyvinyl-alcohol (PVA) fiber and also, the specimens with ternary hybridization of macro steel fiber, micro steel fiber with 13 mm in length (OL 13/.16) and PVA fiber showed a gradually drop in performance with increasing deflections. Besides, results indicate that the least improvement in bond strength was observed in the specimen having quaternary fiber hybridization of macro steel fiber, OL 13/.16 and micro steel fiber with 6 mm in length (OL 6/.16) and PVA fiber. The bond strength results were also compared with the ones calculated from the existing prediction equations. It was found that Zuo and Darwin and Esfahani and Rangan equations gave better results than the equations of Orangun et al. and ACI 318 on the hybrid fiber reinforced SCC. Based on the results, it was indicated that in these proposals, a new parameter was necessary for the fiber content so in this study, a new empirical equation was derived by using fiber reinforced index for fiber reinforced SCC. The proposed equation gave better estimation in the specimens with single fiber and binary and ternary fiber hybridization.
