ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT This paper presents the results of an investigation carried out to determine the flexural behavior, including first crack strength, modulus of rupture, the load deflection, the post-crack deformation characteris tics, the post-crack load drop, and the toughness indexes of a refrac tory concrete reinforced with stainless steel fiber to 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5% by volume. Properties of fresh concrete, and elastic and mechani cal properties of hardened concretes are also presented.
