Abstract

This research's objective is to investigate the suitability of minibar fiber grid as reinforcement in concrete composite and its ductile and fracture behaviour. The focus of this research is to investigate the effect in flexural behaviour of replacement of the normal steel reinforcement with high tensile strength of minibar fiber. Minibars mixed in concrete lead to a network of randomly placed fibres throughout the concrete. As the load is applied to the concrete, the minibars act as crack control and distribute the load throughout the concrete increasing the average residual strength of the concrete. In this experiment we will replace some portion of cement with minibars and find the load bearing capacity of the minibar reinforced concrete blocks.
