Abstract
The purpose of the present application is to provide a fiber composite for reinforcing concrete, the fiber composite providing a specific number of twists so as to have pull-out resistance in concrete, being capable of serving as a concrete reinforcement since hydrophilic compound, which can bind to concrete by hydrogen bonding, is coated on concrete and the fiber composite, maintaining the shape of fibers when mixed into concrete, reducing a rebound rate during shotcrete placing, and maintaining linearity within concrete.
Claims5
A method of manufacturing a fiber-reinforced concrete, the method comprising:
- twisting two strands of polyethylene terephthalate filament yarns for a fiber composite to have turns per meter (TPM) of 200 to 500 to form a helix structure in which 2 strands of yarns form an angle 50 to 100° in an axial direction of the fiber composite from a surface of the fiber composite to prevent reduction in spinning resistance performance;
- and
- forming a compound bond between the fiber composite and an epoxy compound coating solution by drying and heat-treating the fiber composite after immersing the fiber composite in the epoxy compound coating solution, wherein:
- the immersing is performed with 0.3 to 4% of solid content in the epoxy compound coating solution based on a weight of the twisted fiber composite,
- the drying is performed at 100 to 150° C., and the heat-treating is performed at 220 to 250° C. for 50 to 90 seconds such that the epoxy compound coating solution penetrates a microstructure in the fiber composite to function as chemical bond with the fiber composite and an anchor to ensure cohesion with the fiber composite and to achieve hydrogen bond between a hydrophilic group of the epoxy compound coating solution and concrete by mixing the fiber composite with the concrete, thereby increasing cohesion with the concrete and improving reinforcement performance,
- and wherein the fiber composite has an initial modulus of 80 g/d to 110 g/d, wherein the initial modulus is selected such that the fiber composite exhibits non-linear threshold rebound behavior during shotcrete application, with increased rebound rate occurring above 110 g/d, such that the fiber composite maintains linearity during concrete mixing and shotcrete injection and exhibits a reduced rebound rate compared with fibers having modulus greater than 110 g/d.
