PAGE PAGE 1 Comparative study of steel fibre-reinforced concrete and steel mesh-reinforced concrete at early ages in panel tests Yining Ding*, Wolfgang Kusterle Institute of Building Materials and Material Testing, University of Innsbruck Received 2 May 1999; accepted 30 July 1999 Abstract Recently it has become more and more common to replace steel reinforcement with steel-fibre reinforced concrete/shotcrete in underground constructions. It is therefore of great importance to compare the behaviour of steel-fibre reinforced concrete and conventional steel-reinforced concrete. In cases of shotcrete at the tunnel face, it is important to obtain a fast stabilizing effect. To avoid damage to the shotcrete caused by blasting or drilling for bolts, it is also important to obtain high early strength. Compared to the actual strength, the tunnel shell is loaded to the highest degree during the first advance rounds after spraying, and therefore most failures occur at early ages. To evaluate the development of punching shear and flexural ductility for panels, experimental investigations were preformed on laboratory concrete in accordance with EFNARC. The measurements were taken at the earliest age of the specimen possible, about 10 h, and continued up to 48 h. ? 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Introduction Although the fibre influence on concrete/shotcrete at later ages is well known, at present, there are few research results comparing the properties of steel fibre-reinforced concrete (SFRC) with various fibre ontents and steel-reinforced concrete (SRC), especially at ages of 10 h to 2 days. For shotcrete it is important to obtain high early strength [1]. At the laboratory of the Institute of Building Materials and Material Testing, University of The position of the steel mesh and the steel area ratio in the panel is important. For these tests, the steel mesh was placed
