Abstract

Concrete is inherently brittle and prone to crack initiation, which may result in sudden failure under compressive loading. Although compressive strength testing of concrete cylinders in Indonesia has been standardized under SNI 1974:2011, studies systematically applying this standard to evaluate the failure characteristics of steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) remain limited. This study investigates the effect of hooked-end steel fibers (0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5% by volume) on the compressive strength and failure behavior of 150 mm × 300 mm concrete cylinders tested in accordance with SNI 1974:2011. The plain concrete specimens exhibited an average compressive strength of 16.84 MPa, characterized predominantly by splitting-type failure. The incorporation of steel fibers increased the average compressive strength to 19.16 MPa, 21.98 MPa, and 29.23 MPa for fiber contents of 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5%, respectively. Although the measured strengths remained below the target design strength of fs’45 for pavement concrete, the fiber-reinforced specimens demonstrated cone–shear and shear failure modes with reduced fragmentation and more gradual post-peak behavior. These findings suggest that steel fibers primarily enhance crack control and post-cracking deformation capacity rather than consistently increasing peak compressive strength.
