In Part I of this paper, stress–strain curves for micro-fiber reinforced cement-based composites containing high volume fractions of carbon, steel, and polypropylene fibers were obtained. Considerable strengthening, toughening, and stiffening of the host matrix due to micro-fiber reinforcement under both static and impact conditions were reported. In this paper, composites are characterized under an applied flexural load. Both notched and unnotched specimens were tested in four-point flexure; significant improvements in the flexural behavior due to fiber reinforcement were noted. Notched specimens were tested to study the growth of cracks in these composites and to develop a valid fracture criterion. With this objective, crack growth resistance curves and crack opening resistance curves in terms of the stress intensity factor were constructed. The paper recognizes the potential of these composites in various applications and stresses the need for further research. Key words: Portland cement-based materials, fiber reinforcement, fracture toughness, R-curves.

Properties of polyvinyl alcohol-fiber reinforced cement composites are investigated as functions of temperature up to 1000 °C. Basic physical properties are measured using the water vacuum saturation method. High-temperature thermal diffusivity is determined by a transient method based on the analysis of temperature field at one-sided sample heating. High-temperature specific heat capacity is obtained using a non-adiabatic method. Experimental results show that the studied material exhibits a satisfactory resistance to high-temperature exposure and has a potential for using in high-temperature applications in building industry.

Conventional cement composite is generally produced with ordinary Portland cement (OPC) as a binder. However, during manufacturing the cement composite, large amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) are emitted. Therefore, fly ash is proposed to be replaced to OPC in order to reduce CO2 emission of cement composites. For reinforcing fibers, micro steel fibers were used. For investigating mechanical properties of steel fiber-reinforced cement composites (SFRCCs), direct tension tests were conducted. The test results showed that fly ash improves tensile strength and ductility of SFRCCs. However, tensile strength of the SFRCC decreased as replacement ratio of recycled fine aggregate increased. The use of recycled materials in FRCC helps to save natural resources and promote sustainability in civil engineering materials.

The problem of damage accumulation in fiber-reinforced concrete to structures supporting underground workings and tunnel linings against dynamic loading is insufficiently studied. The mechanical properties were determined and the mechanism of destruction of fiber-reinforced concrete with different reinforcement parameters is described. The parameters of the Concrete Damaged Plasticity model for fiber-reinforced concrete at different reinforcement properties are based on the results of lab experiments. Numerical simulation of the composite concrete was performed in the Simulia Abaqus software package (Dassault Systemes, Vélizy-Villacoublay, France). Modeling of tunnel lining based on fiber-reinforced concrete was performed under seismic loading.
