Strength Dependent Tensile Behavior of Strain Hardening Fiber Reinforced Concrete
Abstract The influence of matrix strength on the tensile behavior of Fiber Reinforced Cement Composites [FRCC] is investigated. The test parameters included four cementitious matrices with compressive strength of 28 MPa (4 ksi) [M1], 56 MPa (8 ksi) [M2], 84 MPa (12 ksi) [M3] and 190 MPa (28 ksi) [M4], respectively, two types of high strength deformed steel fibers, Hooked [H-] and Twisted [T-] fibers, and two volume fractions of fibers, 1% and 2%. It is observed that while the first cracking strength, post cracking strength and energy absorption capacity of FRCC are strongly influenced by the compressive strength of the matrix their strain capacity at peak stress and cracking behavior are not as much affected. While both H- and T- fibers led to improved performance when the matrix strength was increased, T- fibers take better advantage of higher strength matrices. A post-cracking tensile strength exceeding 15 MPa at a peak strain of 0.5% was achieved by using 2% T- fibers with an ultra-high strength matrix (M4).
