Effect of Polymer Modified Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete on Bond Strength

Abstract

In this experimental investigation, the effect on bond strength (pullout test) of polymer

modified steel fibers in concrete is studied. Varying volume fraction of steel fibers from 0 to

7% at the interval of 1% of fiber and SBR latex polymer of fixed volume of 15% by weight of

cement were used. For this test, specimen of size 150 mmï‚´ 150 mmï‚´ 150 mm with 16 mm

high yield deformed bar of length 650 mm is placed at the centre of cube and 150 mm

embedded in concrete. Pullout test on specimens were carried out on universal testing

machine.
