Abstract

In this experimental investigation, the effect on bond strength (pullout test) of polymermodified steel fibers in concrete is studied. Varying volume fraction of steel fibers from 0 to7% at the interval of 1% of fiber and SBR latex polymer of fixed volume of 15% by weight ofcement were used. For this test, specimen of size 150 mmï‚´ 150 mmï‚´ 150 mm with 16 mmhigh yield deformed bar of length 650 mm is placed at the centre of cube and 150 mmembedded in concrete. Pullout test on specimens were carried out on universal testingmachine.Keywords: Pullout test, bond strength, steel fiber reinforced concrete, polymer modified steel fiber reinforced concrete Cite this Article Kalwane Uttam B, Dahake Ajay G, Upadhye Vasudev R.
