Title:

Using Aligned Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete as a Pavement Material

Accession Number:

01594622

Record Type:

Component

Abstract:

Aligned steel fiber reinforced concrete (AFC) has higher flexural strength than normal steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) due to the increase in reinforcing efficiency of steel fibers. If AFC is used as a pavement material it may be benefit to the pavement because of its higher flexural strength. In this paper, the influence of AFC on the thickness of pavement is analyzed quantitatively following Chinese and US codes. The results show that when AFC is used as the pavement material, the thickness reduces 24 - 45% compared to ordinary pavement and reduces 5 - 8% compared to SFRC pavement.
