This paper presents the results of an experimental research designed to investigate the dynamic mechanical properties and constitutive model of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC), including steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) and polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete (PFRC) under fast loading. Experimental results are achieved by using the electrohydraulic servo loading test method, implying that the dynamic mechanical properties of PFRC and SFRC, such as peak stress, peak strain, and toughness, are positively affected by strain rate. The experimental elastic modulus test results of FRC with different fiber contents indicate that the elastic modulus is positively affected by polypropylene or steel fibers and increases with the increment of fiber content. Finally, the experimental stress-strain curves obtained in the MTS electrohydraulic servo system test are fitted by a damage dynamic constitutive model of FRC. The good fitting with experimental results proves that the model could be appropriate to describe the dynamic mechanical properties of FRC.

With cooling tests on polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete and plain concrete that were initially subjected to different heating temperatures, the change of mechanical properties including mass loss, uniaxial compressive strength and microstructure were analyzed. The results show that the compressive strength of concrete tend to decrease with an increase in temperature. After experiencing high temperatures, the internal fibers of the polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete melted and left a large number of voids in it, thereby deteriorating the mechanical properties of concrete.

The mechanical tests of normal concrete (NC) specimens, steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) specimens and polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete (PPFRC) specimens have been carried out. Fiber-reinforced concretes containing different volume fraction and aspect ratio of steel and polypropylene fibers were compared in terms of compressive, splitting tensile, ultimate tensile properties. Test results indicate that the mechanical properties of NC can be improved by addition of steel fibers and can be enhanced with the increase of fiber content. However, polypropylene fiber may cause opposite effect, if volume fraction too high.
