Abstract

The bond strength between the steel fiber and the ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) matrix plays a significant role in improving the behavior of plain UHPC. This paper compiles the existing experimental research database on the pullout bond performance of steel fibers embedded in UHPC. The variations of key parameters in the database are the steel fiber type and geometry, fiber volume fractions, and fiber embedded length. The effects of these parameters are analyzed and discussed in detail. Based on the analysis of the results, it was found that the deformed steel fibers, i.e., the hooked-end, half-hooked-end, and twisted steel fibers clearly provided higher average bond strengths than that straight fibers. The average pullout bond strength was obtained by increasing of fiber volume fraction in the UHPC matrix up to 2 (11.21MPa) with an increment of 20.4. When the steel fiber volume fractions increase beyond 2, the average bond strength decreases. Additionally, it was also found that using smaller embedded lengths in deformed steel fibers could result in the improvement of bond strength. This could be due to the fact that the bond is controlled by the mechanical anchorage of the end-hook rather than the physio-chemical bond in the straight portion. Conversely, increasing the embedded length of steel fiber could greatly contribute to the enhancement of pullout resistance resulting in increased bond strength between the UHPC matrix and steel fibers. © 2022 COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, TIKRIT UNIVERSITY.
