Time‐dependent elongation and cracking behavior of fiber reinforced concrete tension chords
The long‐term (LT) tension stiffening effect in fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) tension chords is investigated in this paper. Six tension tie specimens with varying fiber types (either no fibers, polypropylene, or steel fibers) and reinforcement ratios were subjected to a sustained tensile in‐service load for 560 days. The LT specimens were fitted with gauges to monitor their elongation over the test period. In addition, 12 specimens were subjected to instantaneous loading to capture the entire load‐deformation response of the tension ties, up to and beyond the yielding of the reinforcement. A complete suite of material characterization tests were conducted in conjunction with the tension tie testing. The results from this investigation indicate that the inclusion of the fiber types and dosages adopted in this program improve the short‐term performance with respect to stiffness, tension stiffening, and cracking. Steel fibers improved the LT behavior, while the polypropylene fibers used in this study led to mixed results. Models previously developed by the authors have been shown to describe the behavior with good accuracy.
