Özet

This study alms to determine the energy absorption of concrete slabs (60x60x10cm) using polyester, polypropylene and steel fiber reinforced (SFRC, PYFRC, PPFRC) according to EN 14488-5. Significant differences in the energy absorption were observed between the concrete slabs strengthened with different fibers. The highest gain In energy absorption was observed In SFRC. Furthermore, concrete slabs strengthened with PPFRC and PYFRC showed 23.4% and 14.8% less energy to SFRC. Although the SFRC showed the highest energy absorption under directly negative conditions, it is important to evaluate the durability issues associated with SFRC, such negative conditions.
