Abstract
Abstract Recycled steel fiber (RSF)-reinforced concrete is not only an innovative research trend in the field of civil engineering materials, but also a new type of civil engineering composites under the trend of low-carbon development. This article deals with the experimental study of applying waste steel fibers to form recycled steel fiber concrete (RSFC). The main materials in this study are RSF, coarse and fine aggregate, fly ash, silica fume, and water reducer agent formed by machining surplus materials as the main materials. Three types of concrete were prepared. They were normal concrete, primary steel fiber concrete (PSFC), and RSFC with six different volume contents. The slump and air content of the three types of concrete are compared and analyzed. Then, the effects of the volume content of RSF on the cube compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength, and axial compressive strength of RSFC are studied. Finally, the toughness of RSFC is discussed. The test results show that with the increase in the volume content of RSF, the slump of RSFC is significantly reduced, the compressive strength, tensile strength, and flexural strength are enhanced, the increase in tensile strength and flexural strength is significantly higher than the cube compressive strength, and the RSF has an obvious inhibitory effect on the development of concrete cracks which can obviously enhance the ductility and toughness of the concrete.
