Abstract:This paper investigates the effects of pozzolanic substitutions for ordinary Portland cement (OPC) with silica fume (SF) and metakaolin (MK) on the mechanical and toughness performances of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC). Initially, a reference concrete mix with a water‐to‐binder ratio of 0.4 is blended with different volume fractions of steel fibers with varying geometry: crimped steel (CS) and straight steel (SS), both individually and in combination, to examine their mechanical properties. In the sub… Show more
