The present paper presents the results of an experimental campaign aimed at investigating the mechanical performances of different FRC shotcrete mixes by means of tests on square (EN 14488-5) and circular panels (ASTM C1550-12). In particular, two different concrete mixes were tested, they featured the same aggregates, but one of the two mixes contained silica fumes a replacement of a fraction of cement. Different dosages of macro synthetic fibres (3 to 8.5 kg/m3) were used in each of the two mixes as well as a single dosage of steel fibres (30 kg/m3). Both sprayed and cast panels were considered. In addition to these panels cast notched prisms were tested in three-point bending. The paper discusses the mechanical behaviour of the various specimens, analysing the influence of concrete mix and fibre dosage, and presents correlations among different tests.

Abstract

The present paper presents the results of an experimental campaign aimed at investigating the mechanical performances of different FRC shotcrete mixes by means of tests on square (EN 14488-5) and circular panels (ASTM C1550-12). In particular, two different concrete mixes were tested, they featured the same aggregates, but one of the two mixes contained silica fumes a replacement of a fraction of cement. Different dosages of macro synthetic fibres (3 to 8.5 kg/m3) were used in each of the two mixes as well as a single dosage of steel fibres (30 kg/m3). Both sprayed and cast panels were considered. In addition to these panels cast notched prisms were tested in three-point bending. The paper discusses the mechanical behaviour of the various specimens, analysing the influence of concrete mix and fibre dosage, and presents correlations among different tests.
