Abstract
The influence of steel fibres in fibre reinforced mortars is considered in the paper. Fresh mortar samples with randomly distributed fibres are placed in a spiral coil and exposed to electromagnetic filed so as to achieve orientation of fibres. The location and orientation of fibres is defined by x-ray images. The bending strength testing with deflection checking using the ICS system (Digital Image Correlation System) is conducted. Considering the fibre orientation and load applied, the results exhibit better energy dissipation and greater energy at fracture in case of samples with oriented fibres.
