This paper presents an experimental study on the high strain rate compressive behavior of micro-fibre reinforced ultrahigh performance cementitious composite, which is intended to be used as a matrix for slurry infiltrated fibre concrete (SIFCON). Cementitious composite specimens with 5 different types of microfibres, namely aramid, carbon, wollastonite, polypropylene and glass in amounts of 1.5-2.0% by volume were prepared and investigated. Split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) equipment was used to determine the cementitious composite behavior at strain rates up to 1600 s-1. Quasistatic tests were performed, as well and ratios of these properties at high strain rates to their counterparts at static loading were compared. The dynamic increase factors were calculated. Strain rate sensitivity was observed - compressive strength was found to be increased with strain rate for all tested specimens. Peak stress values, critical compressive strain and post peak behaviour varies for specimens with different micro-fibre reinforcement, which allows to find the optimal reinforcement for high strain rate impacted structures.

This paper presents a laboratory experimental study on the effect of high strain rate on compressive behavior of plain and fiber-reinforce high-strength concrete (FRHSC) with similar strength of 80-90 MPa. Steel fibers, polyethylene fibers, and a combination of these were used in the FRHSC. A split Hopkinson pressure bar equipment was used to determine the concrete behavior at strain rates from about 30 to 300 s-1. The ratio of the strength at high strain rates to that at static loading condition, namely dynamic increase factor (DIF), of the concretes was determined and compared with that recommended by CEB-FIP code. Fracture patterns of the specimens at high strain rates are described and discussed as well. Results indicate that the CEB-FIP equation is applicable to the plain high strength concrete, but overestimates the DIF of the FRHSC at strain rates beyond a transition strain rate of 30 s-1. Based on the experimental results, a modified equation on DIF is proposed for the FRHSC.
