For repairing the inverted concrete in the existing pressure tunnel of a hydraulic power station, steel fibre concrete was applied for reinforcement. The concrete was mixed at the ratio of 1% (80kg/m
3) of steel fibre, 380kg/m
3 of
C, 50.0% of
W/C, 56% of
s/a and 12±2cm of slump, respectively. For mixing, a tilting mixer of 1m
3 concrete was used. The steel fibre was mixed by manual power. As a result of abrasion test with a flowing tester, the abrasion-resistance was improved by twofold. For quality control examination, the slump and air-content were measured, and a vibration consistency meter test, washing test and X-ray test were carried out. It was confirmed that the quality control method for ordinary concrete could be applied efficiently and that the steel fibre was evenly distributed.
