Abstract

This Paper presents the first results of the experiments of fibre reinforced concrete tested using a newly developed uniaxial tensile test. The aim was to develop a tensile test set-up in which the specimen supports have no restraind freedom of movements. This goal has been achieved by means of an arrangement based on ‘pendulum-bars’. Different filling/casting methods were used for optimizing the fibre distribution and orientation aimed at an increase of the tensile strength will increase. Results of a test series, where the filling method, the type and the amount of fibres are varied is presented in this paper.
