In prefabricated concrete structure, the shear performance of interfaces between prefabricated parts and cast-in-place parts needs improvement. Steel fiber self-compacting concrete is a desirable kind of concrete to solve this problem. This paper introduced Z-shape specimens with interfaces between new steel fiber self-compacting concrete part and old ordinary concrete part as direct shear experiment objects. Factors including steel fibers volume ratio and inserting rebars were also studied. The results show that the shear strengths of interfaces increase with the increases of steel fibers volume ratio, and inserting rebars can improve shear strengths and change failure form from brittle failure to ductile failure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
