BOND STRENGTH OF REACTIVE POWDER CONCRETE CONTAINING STEEL FIBRE AND SILICA FUME

The evaluation of composite material has to take in to consideration the mechanical behavior of each component as well as their interaction with often governs the mechanical behavior at the macro level interaction of Steel reinforcement with RPC. Study determines the structural performance at the composite level. RPC has been studied in direct pull out test of reinforcement specimen. Results shows that Pull out behavior of plain matrix is perfectly of brittle nature where as RPC with fibres maintained the load carrying capacity with large deformation and prevented splitting cracking and disintegration of matrix Keywords— RPC, Bond Strength, Interaction,
