Abstract

This paper investigates the effective fracture energy of UHPFRC with various fibre volume fractions and various fibre aspect ratios. We have concluded that the effective fracture energy is dependent on both the fibre volume fraction and the fibre aspect ratio. In addition, we have found that both dependencies follow a linear trend.
