X-Ray Investigation And Modelling Of Steel Fibres In Self-Compacting Concrete

Abstract The paper presents an analysis of cross-sections of beams made of Steel Fiber Reinforced High Performance Self-Compacting Concrete (SFRHPSCC). The analysis was performed by two methods, using our own computer program (destructive method), and computed tomography (non-destructive method). Statistical analysis showed that the orientation of the fibers exhibit exponential distribution. The tests confirmed the correct formation of concrete, maintaining the uniformity of steel fibre distribution.
