Abstract
Influence of material components and mix proportions on the fresh properties and mechanical ones of Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Cementitous Composites (HFRCC) was experimentally studied. It was shown that the relative yield stress and the relative plastic viscosity of HFRCC decreased as the excess paste thickness increased. However, changing tendency of the ductility index was not simply described by the excess paste thickness. Then, the influence of volume content of each fiber and the geometry of the steel fiber was introduced to modify the excess paste thickness and all three properties were well quantified.
