In this paper, calcium carbonate (CaCO3) whisker as a fiber reinforcement is mixed with steel and PVA fiber to form a multiscale hybrid fiber reinforced cementitious composites (MHFRCC). ASTM standard and post-crack strength techniques are performed to evaluate the mechanical properties of MHFRCC. The 1.25 % long steel fiber, 0.55 % short PVA fiber and 2.0 % CaCO3 whisker specimens showed the best flexural behavior before L/600 deflection. However, 1.5 % long steel fiber, 0.4 % long PVA fiber and 1.0 % CaCO3 whisker specimens presented better crack resistance after L/600 deflection. It is revealed that flexural parameters increase as comprehensive reinforcing index increase. The result showed that the CaCO3 whisker and short PVA fiber provided crack resistance effect at micro-scale and mainly play a dominate role in inhibiting micro-cracking. However, long steel fiber and long PVA fiber showed a better bridging effect of macro cracks at a large deflection.

In this study, a high-performance hybrid fiber-reinforced cementitious composite (HP-HFRCC) was prepared, by mixing hooked steel fiber (HSF) and smooth steel fiber (SSF) at different blending ratios, to evaluate the synergistic effect of the blending ratio between HSF and SSF and the strain rate on the tensile properties of HP-HFRCC. The experimental results showed that the micro- and macrocrack control capacities of HP-HFRCC varied depending on the blending ratio and strain rate, and the requirement for deriving the appropriate blending ratio was confirmed. Among the HP-HFRCC specimens, the specimen mixed with HSF 1.0 vol.% and SSF 1.0 vol.% (H1.0S1.0) exhibited a significant increase in the synergistic effect on the tensile properties at the high strain rate, as SSF controlled the microcracks and HSF controlled the macrocracks. Consequently, it exhibited the highest strain rate sensitivities of tensile strength, strain capacity, and peak toughness among the specimens evaluated in this study.

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-steel hybrid fiber reinforced engineered cementitious composites (ECC) characterized by optimal combination of high strength and high ductility were developed recently. These composites exhibit even tighter crack width than normal ECC, showing great potential for lower permeability in cracked state, and consequently improving the durability of ECC structures. In addition, the wide variety of promising applications in underground or hydraulic structures calls for knowledge on the mechanical behavior and corresponding permeability properties of strained ECC under multiaxial stress, as they are essential for structural analysis and durability design. Experimental investigations into the compressive properties and the in-situ gas permeability of PVA-steel hybrid fiber ECC were performed in this study, with special focus on the impact of additional steel fiber content and confining pressure. The test results show that the presence of a low confinement level allows ECC to attain a substantial improvement on compressive behavior but impairs the enhancement efficiency of additional steel fiber. The permeability evolution of strained ECC corresponds to the variation of radial strains, both of which experience little change below the threshold stress but a rapid increase beyond the peak axial strain. Apart from exhibiting low permeability at relatively small strains in the pre-peak stage, ECC can also exhibit low permeability at higher levels of compressive strain up to 2.0%. However, unlike the case in tensile loading, impermeability of cracked ECC in compression would be weakened by additional steel fibers, especially in the post-peak stage. The present research is expected to provide insight into performance-based durability design of structures made of or strengthened with ECC.

The Quasi-static mechanical properties of hybrid fiber (steel fiber and Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber) reinforced cementitious composites (HFRCC(SP)) were investigated by compressive and tensile experiments. The compressive strength, peak strain, elastic modulus and tensile strength are studied as compared with that of engineered cementitious composite (ECC). Study results indicate that steel fibers can improve the compressive and tensile strength of HFRCC(SP) but the peak strain of HFRCC(SP) decreases. The formulas modified based on codes are proposed to calculate compressive peak strain, elastic modulus and tensile strength. The relationship between tensile strain at peak load and tensile strength of HFRCC with different volume fractions of polyethylene fiber and steel fiber were studied and the tensile stress-strain relation was presented. The parameters k1 and k2 of constitutive formulas for fiber reinforced high strength concrete presented by Mansur are modified to describe the stress-strain curve of HFRCC(SP), the modified formulas show good agreement with the experimental results.

Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) is a class of high-performance fiber reinforced composites with ultra-ductility designed based on micromechanics, and it has been developed for increasing application in the construction industry during recent decades. The properties of ECC at room temperature have been tested and studied in depth, however, few studies focus on its performance after high temperature that is one of the worst conditions to ECC. To investigate the change tendency and mechanism for the high temperature flexural properties of hybrid fiber reinforced ECC and the feasibility of calcium carbonate whisker to reduce the cost of ECC materials, polyvinyl alcohol fiber (PVA) reinforced strain hardening cementitious composites (PVA-ECC), steel fiber + PVA fiber reinforced ECC (defined as HyFRECC-A) and steel fiber + PVA fiber + CaCO3 whisker reinforced ECC (defined as HyFRECC-B) subject to room temperature and 200 ℃, 400 ℃, 600 ℃, 800 ℃ elevated temperature exposure were experimentally compared. The results indicate that equally replacing PVA fibers by steel fibers degraded the flexural hardening ability of PVA-ECC at room temperature, while the addition of appropriate amount of CaCO3 whisker improved the flexural strength, toughness and flexural hardening behavior. The elevated temperature posed a significant effect on the flexural strength and toughness of the three types of ECCs. Flexural deflection hardening behavior of the three types of ECCs was eliminated after high temperature exposure. Flexural strength and toughness of PVA-ECC presented an exponential decay along with the increase of temperature. The addition of steel fiber slowed down the decay rate. Although the use of CaCO3 whisker increased the post-temperature flexural strength and toughness of HyFRECC-B, the decay rate was not further decreased.
