The fault-crossing tunnel in meizoseismal area is directly subjected to strong ground motion, which leads to the failure of the tunnel lining. In order to improve the seismic safety of tunnel, fiber-reinforced concrete is applied to tunnel lining in this article. Taking the section of Zhongyi tunnel crossing Wanlong fault as an example, seismic performance of fiber-reinforced concrete tunnel lining was studied by finite difference numerical calculation software FLAC3D. The seismic displacement, stress response, and side wall convergence of secondary lining structures which are plain concrete, steel fiber-reinforced concrete, and steel-basalt hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete were comparatively analyzed. Moreover, the safety factor of each lining structure was investigated with the present numerical model. With the obtained data, seismic performance of steel-basalt hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete secondary lining is better than that of steel fiber-reinforced concrete secondary lining. The results may provide references for seismic design of fault-crossing tunnels in meizoseismal area.

Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced Concrete

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.

The principal aim of this research is to improve the seismic performance of non-ductile reinforced columns using fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) by mixing steel fiber into the concrete. Two reinforced concrete columns 200mm x 300mm in cross-section with a height of 1250 mm were tested under cyclic lateral loading. The first specimen was casted using normal strength concrete of 24 MPa and the second specimens were also casted using similar concrete with similar strength but the steel fiber of 1% was added to the concrete in the plastic hinge region. The axial load for all specimens was 300 kN and kept constant during the test. The test results showed that the use of FRC in the plastic hinge region could significantly improve column displacement ductility. The maximum drift at lateral strength loss at 3.7% for non-ductile column could increase to 6% in FRC column. It is evident that the cracks in FRC column are much smaller and more widely spread in the plastic hinge region and hence the plastic hinge could be able to rotate without lateral strength being compromised. In FRC column, concrete spalling was observed in a very high drift (5%) and bar buckling occurred at around 6% drift whilst in non-ductile column concrete spalling and bar buckling occurred at 2.5% and 3% drift respectively. It was evident that the use of steel fiber in non-ductile columns could significantly improve seismic performance of the column.

The purpose of this communication is to develop a self-sensing cement composite capable of detecting stress variation in concrete by monitoring its electrical property. The relationship between the electrical properties, i.e. electrical resistance of steel fiber reinforced concrete, and stress under loading as part of self-sensing study is presented in here. Amorphous metallic fibers (AMF) with two different lengths i.e. 10 mm and 30 mm are used as concrete reinforcement at a content of 40 kg/m3. A water to cement ratio of 0.39 was adopted for the mix proportions. Natural fine and coarse siliceous aggregates were used for this research. Superplasticizer was used to achieve the target of workability. The two-probe method is used for measuring electrical properties on cylinder specimens with diameter 100 mm and height 200 mm. The influence of different parameters such as fiber length, frequency of power input, maximum stress and variation of potential input on the sensitivity of the sensing are investigated. The results indicate that the electrical resistance of the concrete decreases reversibly during loading and increases reversibly during unloading. Good sensitivity obtained for the mix using 30 mm AMF length indicates that the addition of this type of fiber into concrete can be suitable to produce a self-sensing cement composite.
