This paper presents experimental investigations on the mechanical properties of no-slump high-strength concrete (NSHSC), such as the compressive and flexural strength. First, to determine the proper NSHSC mixtures, the compressive and flexural strength of three different water-to-binder ratios (w/b) of specimens with and without polyethylene (PE) fiber was tested at test ages. Then, the effect of hybrid combinations of PE fiber and steel fiber (SF) on the compressive strength, flexural strength, flexural toughness, and flexural energy dissipation capacity was experimentally investigated. Furthermore, the various hybrid fiber-reinforced NSHSCs were evaluated, and their synergy was calculated, after deriving the benefits from each of the individual fibers to exhibit a synergetic response. The test results indicate that a w/b of 16.8% with or without fibers had lower strength and flexural strength (toughness) than those of other mixtures (w/b of 16.4% and 17.2%). Specimens with a hybrid of SF and short PE fibers exhibited a higher compressive and flexural strength, flexural toughness, energy dissipation capacity, and fiber synergy in all considered instances.

Based on the fatigue test, 8 steel fiber reinforced high-strength concrete beams are studied, the influencing factors of crack width are discussed in the paper, and the calculation method of crack width under fatigue load is investigated. Based on the analysis of test results, the formulas are put forward. The results show that adding steel fiber into the high-strength concrete beams can prevent the development of the fatigue crack, fatigue crack widths are decreased by 26.0%~121.0% and the calculated values have good agreement with test date.

Through the three-point bending test on the specimens of steel fiber reinforced high strength concrete (SFHSC), the effects of influencing factors including water-cement ratio (W/C) and the fiber volume fraction (ρf) upon the critical value(JC) of J integral were studied. The results show that the variation tendencies of JC are different under different factors. JC meets the linear statistical relation with W/C, ρf, respectively.

This paper investigates the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of ultra high strength concrete containing steel fiber. The steel fibers were added at the volume fractions of 0%, 0.5%, 0.75%, 1.0% and 1.5%. The compressive strength of the steel fiber reinforced ultra high strength concrete (SFRC) reached a maximum at 0.75% volume fraction, being a 15.5% improvement over the UHSC. The splitting tensile strength of the SFRC improved with increasing the volume fraction, achieving 91.9% improvements at 1.5% volume fraction. Strength models were established to predict the compressive and splitting tensile strengths of the SFRC. The models give predictions matching the measurements. Conclusions can be drawn that the marked brittleness with low tensile strength and strain capacities of ultra high strength concrete (UHSC) can be overcome by the addition of steel fibers.

Through the three-point bending test on the specimens of steel fiber reinforced high strength concrete (SFHSC) and plain high strength concrete (HSC) with the size of 100 mm×100 mm×515 mm, the effects of influencing factors including the fiber volume fraction (ρf) and relative notch depth (a/W) upon the fracture energy and the work of applied force (gravity and external force) were studied. The results show that the effect of ρf upon the fracture energy is more obvious; the variation tendencies for the increment ratio of the fracture energy and that of the work of applied force are different under different factors; the fracture energy is dependent on the work of external force. Based on the test results, the formula was established for calculating the fracture energy.
