Effect of fiber content and stress–strength ratio on the creep of basalt fiber–reinforced alkali‐activated slag concrete
Alkali‐activated materials are increasingly being used in practical applications as potential alternatives to Portland cement. If alkali‐activated slag (AAS) is to be applied to prestressed engineering and large‐size structures, it is necessary to study the creep performance of AAS. Existing studies have found that the creep of AAS concrete is larger than that of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete, and adding fiber is an effective way to overcome this defect. In this study, we investigated the creep of basalt fiber–reinforced AAS (FRAAS) concrete for fiber contents ranging from 0% to 0.9% (by volume) at a stress–strength ratio of 0–0.6. After analyzing the experimental results, it was found that the basalt FRAAS concrete had no obvious linear creep range. It was observed that with an increase in the fiber content, the inhibition effect of fiber on creep became stronger initially and then weaker. The inhibitory effect of fiber on creep was strengthened by the increase in the stress–strength ratio. The creep coefficient showed no obvious change when the fiber content was in the range of 0%–0.9%. Based on the existing OPC concrete creep models, a method for predicting the creep of basalt FRAAS concrete was proposed.
