Semi-circular Bending Test to Evaluate the Post Cracking Behaviour of Fibre Reinforced Concretes
The known tests to evaluate the post-cracking behaviour of fibre reinforced concretes (FRC) have some disadvantages. The most representative test of tensile behaviour, the direct tensile test (DT), is difficult to perform. Therefore, the use of indirect tests to evaluate the post cracking behaviour of FRC is common. Some of these tests are carried out in such a way that the samples are molded separately to the structure in prismatic shapes. This geometry makes it difficult to extract samples from the real structure to evaluate the behaviour of the FRC in the structure. Especially for the fibre reinforced self-compacting concretes, the fibre distribution and directions are strongly influenced by the shape of the structure and casting procedures, being important to use structural specimens, representative of the actual structure that the FRC is intended to be applied. This work proposes the use of a semi-circular bending (SCB) test for the characterization of post cracking behaviour of FRC. An experimental program was performed to demonstrate the use of the SCB test to characterize steel fibre reinforced self-compacting concretes (SFRSCC). Samples with small dimensions were extracted by means of a concrete core cutting machine. The results of the SCB tests were presented, and an inverse analysis was performed to obtain the tension behaviour of the SFRSCC. The results, obtained in terms of stress versus crack opening relationship, were compared with results obtained by DT tests. The results showed the potential of SCB test to evaluate the post-cracking behaviour of FRC, and the evaluated test seems to be particularly suitable for structural test specimens, extracted directly from the structure.
