Abstract
An alternative configuration test was performed with the help of fibre-reinforced concrete made from steel and polypropylene fibres, for the ACI (American Concrete Institute) 544-2R. Repeated Ball Drop Weight Impact (RBDWI) test. Two types of samples, one being PAFC (Pre-Packed Aggregate Fibrous Concrete) and SIFCON (Slurry Infiltrated Concrete), were employed instead of conventional concrete. The notched specimen contributed to the crack control and hindered the generation of random cracks. The line and cross specimen led to a failure with less blows of a concrete specimen. Thus, by adopting line notched specimens, we may minimize the number of specimens needed for testing.
