TLDR
In this paper, the authors present a review on the behaviour of fiber-reinforced concrete under normal as well as impact loads and also identify the materials that can be used for blending cement in concrete as cost-effective means of construction.Abstract:
Concrete is subjected to sudden impact loads in water-controlled structures like dams, tunnels; airport terminal asphalts; structures used for military and industrial purposes. When subjected to extreme load conditions and aggressive environments, plain concrete which is already brittle in nature fails suddenly. Fibre-reinforced concrete is a rapidly developing construction technique which can be used for almost all structural systems. Fibres enhance the ductility of concrete structure by improving their mechanical properties. This paper presents a review on the behaviour of fibre-reinforced concrete under normal as well as impact loads and also identifies the materials that can be used for blending cement in concrete as cost-effective means of construction is one of the challenging aspects in these industries.read more

Low-velocity flexural impact response of steel fiber reinforced concrete subjected to freeze–thaw cycles in NaCl solution
TL;DR: In this article, the flexural impact responses of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) with freeze-thaw cycles in 3.0% NaCl solution were investigated and the relationship between the residual strain and the number of impact test was fitted by exponential functions with a good correlation coefficient.

Fracture behaviour of a fibre reinforced earthen material under static and impact flexural loading
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the impact of the reinforcement on the fracture resistance of the soil material at low and high strain rates and found that the incorporation of fibres greatly improves the peak load, the post-crack strength, the ductility and the energy dissipation of soil under both static and impact bending.

The effects of impact loading on the mechanical properties of the SFRCs
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the mechanical properties of steel fiber concretes (SFRCs) exposed to impact loading and found that SFRCs partially absorbed the effect of the impact, and diminished the rupturing effect of an impact on the concrete by distributing the impact throughout the specimen.
