Overview
Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete (SFRC), as a relatively new compound civil engineering material, has been deeply studied in recent years. Dr Tian Ng presents a practical introduction to the characteristics of steel fibre and considerations when designing steel fibre reinforced concrete.
Presenter: Dr Tian Sing Ng - Prascon Consulting
Tian holds a PhD from the University of New South Wales with specific area in concrete technology and steel fibre reinforced concrete. Tian is a member of the Australian Standard Committee reviewing the latest Australian Concrete Code AS 3600 for the properties of concrete and durability design.
Tian has included a SFRC Pavement design example and covers the following points:
- Content and size of steel fibre;
- Design consideration for various loads
- Tensile and compressive properties;
- Fatigue resistance;
- Dynamic mechanical behaviour
- Why the quality of the fibre matters
- Dosage consideration
- Construction Quality Control
