Abstract

Bond-slip characteristics for steel micro-fibers bonded in cement-based matrices were investigated by conducting single fiber pull-out tests. The influence of the following factors was investigated: fiber inclination, fiber size, fiber embedded length and matrix refinement using silica fume. It was found that the bond-slip characteristics of fibers aligned with respect to the loading direction were necessarily superior than those inclined at an angle. Inclined fibers supported smaller peak pull-out loads and absorbed lesser pull-out energies than the aligned fibers. The use of silica fume in the matrix was found to improve both the average interfacial bond strength and the maximum interfacial bond strength between the fiber and the matrix.
