Experimental study on recycled steel fiber-reinforced concrete under repeated impact

Recycled steel fiber comes from the waste produced by machining. Adding recycled steel fiber into concrete can significantly enhance the toughness of concrete. In order to study the impact toughness of recycled steel fiber-reinforced concrete, the drop weight repeated impact experiment method was used to study the performance of recycled steel fiber-reinforced concrete under repeated impact load. Four kinds of recycled steel fiber-reinforced concrete samples with different volume contents were designed and made, and the loading impact experiments under five working conditions were carried out. Taking the drop weight and drop height as changing parameters, the corresponding blow counts of the first crack and sample failure under the impact of the drop hammer are recorded, and the ductility coefficients of different samples are calculated. The results show that the impact resistance of the sample decreases significantly with the increase of the drop weight and drop height. With the increase of recycled steel fiber content, the impact toughness of the sample increases obviously. The impact toughness of recycled steel fiber-reinforced concrete under standard loading conditions is the best.
