In this study, the dynamic mechanical properties of hybrid fiber reinforced concrete (HFRC) are analyzed with respect to failure mode, dynamic increase factor (DIF), and peak strain by means of a SHPB testing apparatus. The factors that influence the dynamic mechanical properties include fiber type and fiber content. It is concluded that the best dynamic mechanical properties of fibers are CS-PHFRC at medium and low strain rates and AS-PHFRC at a high strain rate. Within a certain range, the higher the fiber content is, the larger the DIF of the corresponding HFRC and the more obvious the increase in dynamic compressive strength. AS-CSHFRC improves the dynamic compressive deformability of the HFRC. The polypropylene fiber causes plasticity, as shown in the failure mode of concrete. The Ottosen nonlinear elastic model, modified by introducing the damage factor, can better describe the dynamic mechanical properties of HFRC.

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.
