Tensile characteristics and fracture energy of fiber reinforced and non-reinforced ultra high performance concrete (UHPC)
In the framework of this study, various mixtures of fiber reinforced and non-reinforced ultra high performance concrete (UHPFRC and UHPC) were produced and tested with focus on the determination of the fracture energy and its comparison to standard mechanical material parameters. For some mixtures a compressive strength of more than 300 MPa was reached still retaining good fresh characteristics of the UHPC. These mixtures were examined for properties of fresh and hardened concrete, focusing on tensile strength properties and fracture energy. The fracture energy was determined to describe the work capacity, i.e. the potential energy intake until the failure of the material. Thereby, a significant increase of the work capacity could be achieved by the addition of steel fibers. Furthermore, the impact of a vacuum treatment of the freshly mixed concrete in regard to fresh and hardened concrete characteristics as well as the influence of aftertreatment (heat treatment and water storage) on compressive and tensile properties of the UHPC was investigated.
