Abstract

Hybrid Fibre Concretes (HFC) are newly developed cement composites, whose main characteristic is utilization of different types of steel fibres in high-strength mortar mixtures. Although the flexural behaviour was very superiour, the determination of uniaxial tensile behaviour is necessary to provide a basis for design. In this paper, results of uniaxial tensile tests on HFCs will be presented, followed by the analysis of fibre dispersion in the specimens and its influence on tensile behaviour.
