We've observed engineers specifying 3D 65/60BGP #copy_fibres (0.90 diameter and 60mm long) at dosages below 25 kg/m³ for jointless slabs in Australia. It's important to note that 3D 65/60BG was never used in such applications at less than 30 kg/m³ in Australia. The reason is fibre overlap and spacing theory. You need enough fibres overlapping to provide the necessary network of reinforcing. The key difference between these fibres is a higher tensile wire. However, this increased tensile strength has minimal impact on low-strength concrete (25-40 MPa). In such cases, the fibres simply pull out of the concrete without effectively utilizing the higher tensile capacity. A high tensile wire is #only_required in high strength concrete (tunnels) or if you're able to improve the anchorage of the fibre.

By understanding the interplay between aspect ratio and fibre spacing, engineers can adopt overlap safety factors to design SFRC mixes that achieve robust performance. This translates to structures with enhanced durability, improved resistance to cracking, and superior load-carrying capacity.

【The Performance of Small Diameter Aluminum Light Support Structures Containing Handholes under Cyclic Fatigue】 Full article: https://lnkd.in/gPMVAiM6 (Authored by Cameron R. Rusnak, et al., from Lincoln University of Missouri (USA), etc.) #Light_poles are essential to modern infrastructure. A critical aspect of light pole design and construction is the electrical access #handhole placed near the base of the pole, which may represent a potential failure location. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of aluminum light poles conducted at the University of Akron, which conducts an experimental program involving aluminum light poles with handholes containing welded inserts in order to gain a better understanding of their fatigue life, mechanical behavior, and failure mechanisms. #Cyclic_Fatigue #Finite_Element_Analysis #Statistical_Analysis
