Effects of Temperature and Stress on Creep Behavior of PP and Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Reactive Powder Concrete
Source abstract
Abstract
Reactive powder concrete (RPC) is an advanced cementitious material with ultra-high strength, remarkable durability and excellent toughness. However, temperature dependent creep is a major concern as very little work has been reported in the literature. Therefore, systematic investigations are still missing in state of the art. This paper focuses on the impact of Polypropylene (PP) and hybrid (steel and PP) fibers on creep behavior of RPC at elevated temperature. Temperature-dependent creep is further characterized into free thermal strain (FTS), short-term creep (STC) and transient strain (TS), based on different thermo-mechanical regimes. Varying heating and loading schemes were considered such as steady-state and transient thermo-mechanical conditions. The target temperatures considered for steady-state thermal conditions and transient case are 120, 300, 500, 700 and 900 °C. Compressive strength was considered up to 60% load ratio of ambient and temperature dependency. The result shows that STC increases with increasing stress level and higher target temperature. The increase in STC becomes obvious above the transition stage of quartz aggregate. Furthermore, HRPC have significantly higher STC than PRPC and other traditional types of concretes. The evolution of FTS and TS was quite slow below 250 °C. However, at high temperature significant increase in FTS and TS were observed. Furthermore, increasing stress level and the addition of steel fibers results in high TS. Overall, the performance of PP fiber was better than the hybrid fibers on the creep behaviour of RPC. Finally, constitutive relationships were proposed for FTS, STC and TS, which will be used as input data in numerical models of fire resistance calculations.
