Effect of Modified Deformed Steel Fiber on Mechanical Properties of Artificial Granite by Xuetao Qiao, Peng Wang, Cunfu Yan, Fang Li, Long Wu

“…In order to explore the influence of the shape and surface treatment of steel fiber on the mechanical properties of artificial granite matrix, the drawing models of W-type, L-type, V-type, and I-type steel fiber are established, the pull-out force of different shapes of steel fiber is calculated theoretically, and a large number of experimental specimens are made for the pull-out test of steel fiber and material strength test. Both theory and experiment show that W-type steel fiber has the greatest influence in artificial granite. …”
