Abstract

A concrete structure includes a continuous fiber-reinforced polymer material arranged as a main reinforcing material or a tendon. A short fiber reinforcing material consisting of an organic fiber is mixed in 0.5% or more with respect to an entire volume. The continuous fiber-reinforced polymer material is shaped like a rod or a stranded wire. A ratio Lf/Gm between a fiber length Lf of the organic fiber of the short fiber reinforcing material and a maximum aggregate diameter Gm of a concrete composition is 1.2 to 3.7, and an aspect ratio Lf/De, in which De is an equivalent diameter that is a cross-sectional area of the organic fiber converted into a circle diameter, is 30 to 69.

Claims (22)

1. A concrete structure, in which a continuous fiber-reinforced polymer material is arranged as a main reinforcing material or a tendon,

wherein the continuous fiber-reinforced polymer material is shaped as a rod or a stranded wire, and

wherein a ratio Lf/Gm between a fiber length Lf of the organic fiber of the short fiber reinforcing material and a maximum aggregate diameter Gm of a concrete composition is 1.2 or more and 3.7 or less, and an aspect ratio Lf/De is 30 or more and 69 or less, wherein De is an equivalent diameter which is a cross-sectional area of the organic fiber converted into a circle diameter.

2. A concrete structure, in which a continuous fiber reinforcing material is arranged as a main reinforcing material or a tendon,

wherein a short fiber reinforcing material consisting of an organic fiber is mixed in 0.5% or more and 2.5% or less, with respect to a concrete volume,

wherein the continuous fiber-reinforced polymer material is shaped as a rod or a stranded wire, and

wherein a ratio Lf/Gm between a fiber length Lf of the organic fiber of the short fiber reinforcing material and a maximum aggregate diameter Gm of a concrete composition is 1.2 or more and 3.7 or less, and a cross-sectional area of the organic fiber is 0.19 mm 2 to 0.79 mm 2 .

3. A concrete slab, in which a continuous fiber-reinforced polymer material is arranged as a main reinforcing material or a tendon,

wherein a short fiber reinforcing material consisting of an organic fiber is mixed in 0.5% or more and 2.5% or less, with respect to a concrete volume,

wherein the continuous fiber-reinforced polymer material is shaped as a rod or a stranded wire, and

wherein a ratio Lf/Gm between a fiber length Lf of the organic fiber of the short fiber reinforcing material and a maximum aggregate diameter Gm of a concrete composition is 1.2 or more and 3.7 or less, and an aspect ratio Lf/De is 30 or more and 69 or less, wherein De is an equivalent diameter which is a cross-sectional area of the organic fiber converted into a circle diameter.

4. A concrete slab, in which a continuous fiber-reinforced polymer material is arranged as a main reinforcing material or a tendon,
