Tensile Splitting Strength

In this study, tensile splitting tests and corresponding numerical simulations are performed on high strength concrete, low strength concrete, the interface between the two types of concrete, and the interface reinforced by steel fiber, respectively. The tensile splitting strength, crack initiation load, and damage characteristics are analyzed based on experiment data and fracture surface of samples. It can be concluded that tensile splitting strength and crack initiation load have the descending order of ‘HT’ (high strength concrete sample) > ‘LT’ (low strength concrete sample) > ‘FT’ (interface reinforced by steel fiber) > ‘OT’ (interface). The tensile splitting strength is related not only to the roughness of the fracture surface, but also to the percentage of fractured aggregates. The steel fiber can increase initiation cracking load, peak load and residual strength of the interface. The existing of interface composited by two types of material can cause asymmetric distribution of the stress state, even if geometry and the load are symmetrical for samples.

Micro Level

The high strength concrete exhibits improved compressive strength with drawback of brittle failure due to lack of tensile strength which can be catered by the addition of fibers. The efficient use of fibers with hybridization at macro and micro level can improve mechanical properties of high strength concrete. The effect of hybridization of hooked end steel macro fibers (60 mm) and PVA micro fibers (12 mm) with different dosages was investigated in this research work. The different percentage of steel and PVA were hybridized to find out the best combination of hybridized fibers in high strength concrete. The compressive and flexural properties of high strength concrete along with complete load vs deflection behaviour of hybrid fiber reinforced concrete were investigated. The results revealed that hybridization of macro and micro fibers provided better improvement in flexural performance. It was observed from the results that the hybrid combination of fibers of 1% macro steel fiber and 0.15% micro PVA fibers proved to be the best for enhancement in flexural performance of high strength concrete.

Based on the fatigue test, 8 steel fiber reinforced high-strength concrete beams are studied, the influencing factors of crack width are discussed in the paper, and the calculation method of crack width under fatigue load is investigated. Based on the analysis of test results, the formulas are put forward. The results show that adding steel fiber into the high-strength concrete beams can prevent the development of the fatigue crack, fatigue crack widths are decreased by 26.0%~121.0% and the calculated values have good agreement with test date.

Through the three-point bending test on the specimens of steel fiber reinforced high strength concrete (SFHSC), the effects of influencing factors including water-cement ratio (W/C) and the fiber volume fraction (ρf) upon the critical value(JC) of J integral were studied. The results show that the variation tendencies of JC are different under different factors. JC meets the linear statistical relation with W/C, ρf, respectively.

An experimental investigation was conducted to study residual mechanical properties of Ultra-High-Strength concrete with different dosages of glassified micro-bubble after exposure to high temperature. After exposure to different target temperatures (room temperature, 200 °C, 400 °C, 600 °C,800 °C), residual mechanical properties (residual compressive strength, residual tensile splitting strength, residual fracture energy) of Ultra-High-Strength concrete under different conditions including 1 water-binder ratios (0.18), 3 different contents of glassified micro-bubble (0%, 40%, 60%) were all investigated. The effect of different dosage of glassified micro-bubble was studied on residual mechanical properties of Ultra-High-Strength concrete after exposure to high temperature. The results indicate that the variations of different kinds of Ultra-High-Strength concrete with different dosage of glassified micro-bubble are basically the same. With the increase of temperature, the residual mechanical properties increase at first, then decrease. The residual mechanical properties decrease after exposure to high temperature of 800 °C.
