    Abstract:

    To ensure successful pumping and excellent crack resistance,special SFRC was prepared through optimizing the matrix,the shape and size of fibers.The pumpability,shrinkage,cracking,direct tensile strength and toughness were considered.According to the vertically pumping results,the prepared SFRC can be continuously pumped up to a concrete tower with the height over 300 m.Test results demonstrate that steel fiber can diminish the dry shrinkage of concrete in later period,and can improve the mechanical behaviors of concrete matrix.Results of cracking test indicate that the crack resistance is increased by 40% approximately due to the addition of steel fiber to concrete beam.It is also found that in the full-scale model test of main tower,the maximum crack width,cracking length and run-through crack number of anchorage zone poured by SFRC are all less than those of anchorage zone poured by contrast concrete.Therefore,the prepared SFRC is suitable for anchorage zone of the concrete tower and can be used in other zones suffering complex forces.
