Abstract:
The aim of the research was to create a model of steel fibre distribution in a Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete space using statistical probability means. The model was created in order to better understand the behaviour of the composite under operating conditions. Four statistical distributions (Beta, Kumaraswamy, Three Parameter Beta and Generalised Transmuted Kumaraswamy) were examined to find the distribution that best described fibre settling phenomenon caused by manufacturing process conditions. In the next stage the chosen statistical distribution was adapted to create the model of steel fibre distribution in a Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete space. The model took into account technological conditions such as vibrating time and properties such as consistency of the tested concrete. The model showed a good agreement with the real fibre distribution.

Dynamic Modulus of Elasticity of Concrete
The sonic test is a common method to determine the dynamic modulus. In this test, a concrete beam, sized either 6 x 6 x 30 inches or 4 x 4 x 20 inches, is clamped at its center. Vibrations are initiated at one end of the beam by an electromagnetic exciter unit powered by...
