Resistance Performance

The fiber reinforced concrete with flexible fiber and rigid fiber respectively added into C30 plain concrete, curing under standard condition for 28 days, was used for fatigue resistance performance experiment. The flexible fiber is American Dura fiber and Chinese nylon fiber. The rigid fiber is Chinese steel fiber. The fatigue resistance property was evaluated by the residual strength after 400 thousand times fatigue damage. The result shows that the residual strength of C30 plain concrete was only 35.0% of initial value, but the residual strength of C30 fiber reinforced concrete still remained 75%~90% of initial value. The residual strength of steel fiber concrete, Dura fiber concrete, nylon fiber concrete, is respectively 2.5, 2.3 and 2.1 times of the plain concrete. The fiber reinforced concrete improves the fatigue resistance property compared with the plain concrete. The fatigue resistance ability of flexible fiber and rigid fiber reinforced concrete is close to each other.

This paper experimentally investigates the blast-resistant characteristics of hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete (HFRC) panels by contact detonation tests. The control specimen of plain concrete, polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and steel fiber-reinforced concrete were prepared and tested for characterization in contrast with PP-Steel HFRC and PVA-Steel HFRC. The sequent contact detonation tests were conducted with panel damage recorded and measured. Damaged HFRC panels were further comparatively analyzed whereby the blast-resistance performance was quantitively assessed via damage coefficient and blast-resistant coefficient. For both PP-Steel and PVA-Steel HFRC, the best blast-resistant performance was achieved at around 1.5% steel + 0.5% PP-fiber hybrid. Finally, the fiber-hybrid effect index was introduced to evaluate the hybrid effect on the explosion-resistance performance of HFRC panels. It revealed that neither PP-fiber or PVA-fiber provide positive hybrid effect on blast-resistant improvement of HFRC panels.

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.

Different fiber reinforced concrete was experimentally investigated by adding flexible fiber and rigid fiber respectively into C20, C30 and C40 plain concrete. First the workability of fiber reinforced concrete was tested. Then the mechanical property and frost resistance property was tested after curing on standard condition for 28 days. The flexible fiber is American Durafiber and domestic nylon fiber. The rigid fiber is domestic steel fiber. The result shows that fiber concrete can improve cohesiveness and water retention, the flexible fiber reinforced concrete presents more apparent. Compared with plain concrete, the slump and setting time decreases a little for flexible fiber reinforced concrete and increases a little for rigid fiber reinforced concrete. The compressive strength and flexural strength of fiber reinforced concrete can be increased compared with plain concrete. The rigid fiber reinforced concrete presents more obviously. For example, the compressive strength and the flexural strength of C30 concrete with the addition of steel fiber were increased by 24% and 34% respectively. The frost resistance of fiber reinforced concrete improves compared with plain concrete. The flexible fiber reinforced concrete presents more noticeably. For example, after 250 freezing-thawing cycles, the mass loss of C30 concrete with the addition of Durafiber is decreased by 15% and the relative dynamic elastic modulus is increased by 6% compared with plain concrete.

Concrete barely possesses tensile strength, and it is susceptible to cracking, which leads to a reduction of its service life. Consequently, it is significant to find a complementary material that helps alleviate these drawbacks. The aim of this research was to determine analytically and experimentally the effect of the addition of the steel fibers on the performance of the post-cracking stage on fiber-reinforced concrete, by studying four notch-to-depth ratios of 0, 0.08, 0.16, and 0.33. This was evaluated through 72 bending tests, using plain concrete (control) and fiber-reinforced concrete with volume fibers of 0.25% and 0.50%. Results showed that the specimens with a notch-to-depth ratio up to 0.33 are capable of attaining a hardening behavior. The study concludes that the increase in the dosage leads to an improvement in the residual performance, even though an increase in the notch-to-depth ratio has also occurred.

The design of a stand for testing concrete and fiber-reinforced concrete specimens-"eight" in tension, which provides axial load application and minimizes the effect of stress concentration at the ends of the specimen. The design of the stand is such that the distance between the axis of load application and the central hinge is 108 cm, and between this hinge and the axis of the test specimen is 21 cm, as a result of which the load transferred to the specimen is 5.143 times greater than the applied one. At the first stage of testing, it was found that the optimal characteristics of the fiber-concrete mixture is a matrix with a large aggregate ≤ 10 mm with 1.0% fiber reinforcement. At the second stage, the ultimate strength of fiber-reinforced concrete for axial tension was determined - 1.28 MPa when reinforced with wave fiber and 1.37 MPa when reinforced with anchor fiber, which amounted to 4.1% and 4.4% of compressive strength, respectively. It was also found that concrete reinforced with anchor fiber has higher deformation properties than concrete reinforced with wave fiber.

Strength And Toughness

Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) is a promising construction material mainly because of the crack-controlling mechanisms that discrete fibers can impart to inherently brittle concrete. Macrofibers, in particular, have been proven effective for providing post-crack ductility and toughness, while synthetic fibers are a promising solution to avoid corrosion-related durability issues. To assess the performance enhancement provided by macro-synthetic concrete fibers, this study performs flexural tests on FRC beams containing three different types of macro-synthetic fibers. The selected fibers include polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and alkali-resistant glass (ARG) macrofibers mixed at volume fractions of 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5%. Static and dynamic fresh properties are monitored using the vibrating Kelly ball (VKelly) test. Beam specimens are then placed under a third point bending configuration, as per ASTM C1609 Standard, to measure load versus mid-span deflection. Strength and toughness parameters are derived from the load–deflection data to assess the flexural performance of the FRC composite systems under consideration. The parameters of interest include first peak strength (pre-crack flexural strength) and post-crack residual strength and toughness provided by fiber addition. Of the mixtures tested, ARG fiber mixtures show the highest residual strength and toughness values, followed by PP and PVA fiber mixtures. ARG fibers produce the most workable mixtures at all fiber volumes, while PVA fibers show a tendency to encounter dispersion issues at higher volume doses. The outcome of this study is expected to facilitate the selection of fibers by giving insight into their relative contribution to fresh and hardened flexural properties of FRC.

Concrete structure will be corroded under acid rain scouring and soaking for a long time, which has a great influence on its durability life. In order to further study the damage characteristics of fiber reinforced concrete under acid rain erosion, the formation mechanism of acid rain and its influence on the corrosion and deterioration of concrete and fiber materials were analyzed in this paper. Taking basalt fiber concrete as an example, the characteristics such as porosity, compressive strength and mechanical indexes were studied and analyzed. Moreover, the reasons for the optimal fiber content was briefly analyzed. The results show that the inner structure of basalt concrete mixed with 0.1% fiber was the most stable and the corrosion resistance was the most satisfying.This conclusion has certain reference significance for the corrosion damage research of fiber reinforced concrete.

Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer

Basalt fiber has arisen new perspectives due to the potential low cost and excellent mechanical performance, together with the use of environmental friendly coir can be beneficial to the development of sustainable construction. In this study, a new composite structure called basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) tube encased coconut fiber reinforced concrete (CFRC) is developed. The 28-day compression strength of the plain concrete is about 15 MPa, which represents the low-strength poor-quality concrete widely existing in many old buildings and developing countries. Three types of BFRP tubes, i.e., 2-layer, 4-layer, and 6-layer, with the inner diameter of 100 mm and a length of 520 mm, were prepared. The plain concrete (PC) and CFRC were poured and cured in these tubes to fabricated BFRP tube confined long cylindrical beams. Three PC cylindrical beams and 3 CFRC cylindrical beams were prepared to be the control group. The four-point bending tests of these specimens were carried out to investigate the enhancement due to the BFRP tube and coir reinforcement. The load-carrying capacity, force-displacement relationship, failure mode, and the cracking moment were analyzed. Results show that both BFRP tube confined plain concrete (PC) and BFRP tube confined CFRC have excellent flexural strength and ductility, and the inclusion of the coir can further enhance the ductility of the concrete.

Adding fiber can improve the brittleness of plain concrete. Compared with plain concrete, basalt fiber-reinforced concrete has the advantages of strengthening, toughening, and crack resistance. Compared with steel fiber-reinforced concrete, basalt fiber-reinforced concrete has better construction performance. Basalt fiber concrete is a type of inorganic material with environmental protection and high mechanical properties, which has an important mechanical advantage for controlling the deformation of the soft surrounding rock tunnel. Through the indoor model test of mechanical behavior of reinforced concrete and basalt fiber-reinforced concrete lining, the bearing characteristics of basalt fiber-reinforced concrete lining was studied. The results show that, compared with reinforced concrete, the initial crack load of basalt fiber-reinforced concrete is increased by 20%; the toughness of lining structure is enhanced by adding basalt fiber, and the lining can still bear large bending moment and deformation after the initial crack appears; after the initial crack appears, the bearing characteristic curve of reinforced concrete lining rises slowly and converges rapidly; the bearing characteristic curve of basalt fiber-reinforced concrete lining rises slowly, and there is no sign of convergence when it reaches 2 times of initial crack load. For the soft surrounding rock tunnel, it is necessary to seal the rock surface as early as possible, provide support as soon as possible, and have a certain deformation capacity. Basalt fiber-reinforced concrete can better meet these needs.
