18、Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides a quantitative measure usefulin the evaluation of the performance of fiberreinforcedconcrete. It allows for comparative analysis among beamscontaining different fiber types, including materials, dimensionand shape, and different fiber contents. Resul
19、ts can be used tooptimize the proportions of fiberreinforced concrete mixtures,to determine compliance with construction specifications, toevaluate fiberreinforced concrete which has been in service,and as a tool for research and development of fiberreinforcedconcrete (See Note 2).NOTE 2Banthia and
20、Dubey3compared results using this test methodwith residual strengths at the same net deflections using a test protocol thatis similar to that described in Test Method C1609/C1609M on 45 beamswith a single fiber configuration at proportions of 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 % byvolume. The results by this test me
21、thod were on average 6.4 % lower thanby the procedure of Test Method C1609/C1609M.5.2 Test results are intended to reflect either consistency ordifferences among variables used in proportioning the fiber-reinforced concrete to be tested, including fiber type(material), fiber size and shape, fiber am
22、ount, beam preparation(sawed or molded), and beam conditioning.5.3 In molded beams fiber orientation near molded surfaceswill be affected by the process of molding. For tests offiber-reinforced concrete containing relatively rigid or stifffibers of length greater than 35 mm 1.4 in., the use of sawed
23、beams cut from samples with an initial width and depth of atleast 3 times the length of the fiber is required to minimizeeffects of fiber orientation. When sawed beams are employed,and to avoid the effects of fiber orientation, care shall beapplied to ensure that the flexural tensile surface of the
