Popis: As a typical brittle material, the tensile strength of concrete is much lower than its compressive strength. The main failure mode of concrete buildings under explosive and impact loading is spalling, so it is crucial to understand the dynamic tensile performance of concrete. This paper presents an experimental study on the dynamic tensile strength of steel-fiber-reinforced self-compacting concrete (SFRSCC). Specimens of two different self-compacting concrete (SCC) mixes (C40 and C60) and four different fiber volume fractions (0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, and 2.0%) are fabricated. Dynamic tensile strengths of SFRSCC are obtained using a modified Hopkinson bar system. The relationships between the dynamic tensile strength of the corresponding SCC mix, the quasi-static compressive strength, and the fiber volume fraction are discussed. An empirical equation is proposed. It is shown that SFRSCC with high compressive strength has higher dynamic tensile strength than low-strength SFRSCC for the same fiber content, and the dynamic tensile strength of SFRSCC possesses an approximately linear relation with the fiber volume fraction. The mechanism underlying this fiber-reinforcement effect is investigated.
