Dataset for evaluation and numerical modelling of structural performance of fibre-reinforced shotcrete with fibres of steel, synthetic and basalt

This dataset [1] contains results from structural testing of cast and sprayed fibre-reinforced shotcrete with steel, synthetic and basalt fibres. This includes testing residual flexural strength on beams according to EN 14488-3 [2] and the energy absorption of round determinate panels tested according to ASTM C1550 [3]. For all tests, the compressive strength was evaluated according to EN 12390-3 [4]. Four different fibre types were tested, and for each fibre type, three dosages were tested. Beams were produced by casting, while panels were produced by casting and spraying. This resulted in a total of 36 beams and 72 panels and cubes. Structural testing was performed at an accredited laboratory by certified personnel using standard equipment found in a commercial laboratory for structural testing. The dataset contains a summary of the standard parameters evaluated for each test method but also contains the raw data from the test machine for tests on beams on panels. One unique property of this dataset is the variation in fibre types, i.e. testing includes steel, synthetic and basalt fibres. The standard test parameters summary is useful for directly comparing and evaluating the structural performance for each fibre type and dosage. This could be used to get an indication of the required dosage of each fibre type to fulfil structural requirements. The raw data from the test machine is valuable for the numerical modelling of fibre-reinforced shotcrete. This data contains the relationship between external force and vertical displacement of the specimen and can be used to calibrate a material model for finite element simulations.
