Abstract

Abstract

Fracture parameters can be used to analyze the influence of fibers on fiber-reinforced concrete specimens at different loading stages, thus being helpful to evaluate the fracture property of fiber-reinforced concrete accurately. In the paper, the common fiber concrete fracture test methods and their characteristics were sorted out, the fracture parameters based on the test methods were introduced and classified, and the advantages and disadvantages of parameters in the same and different types were compared and discussed. According to the experimental results of the existing research, the main factors to influence the fracture parameters were found and the influence pattern was concluded. The results showed that three-point bending beams and four-point bending beams were the common testing specimens to determine the fracture parameters of fiber-reinforced concrete. The parameters obtained by those specimens indicated different fracture properties of fiber-reinforced concrete, and the equivalent flexural tensile strength was recommended to evaluate the fracture property of fiber-reinforced concrete at different loading stages. Furthermore, the prospect of the future research on fiber-reinforced concrete was proposed.
