Popis: A series of uniaxial tensile tests on cylinders made from steel fibre reinforced self-compacting concrete (SFR-SCC) have been carried out to investigate the influence of fibre geometry and the combined effect of fibre content and distribution on the post-cracking behaviour. Three types of commercially available hooked end fibres (3D (single hooked), 4D double (double hooked) and 5D (triple hooked)) have been used in this study, which are added to the concrete mixture at two fibre dosages (0.5 and 1% by volume). The experiments show that the post-cracking strength increases significantly (P
