The impact of various types of steel fibres on the strength parameters and blast resistance of high - Performance concrete

Abstract

The paper describes composition proposals and subsequent optimization and testing of developed fibre-reinforced UHPC mixtures, which seem to be optimal as construction material for the blast and ballistic protective systems, such as mobile blast-resistant walls and covers, which are the expected outcomes of the presented research project. Methods of laboratory testing and optimization of developed UHPC mixtures, with the aim of achieving the best possible values of physical-mechanical parameters, are described in this paper. In connection with laboratory verification, field blast tests of UHPC board samples and consequently of the entire blast-resistant wall system were realized and resistance to dynamic stress was investigated.
