Fracture properties of steel fibre reinforced high-volume fly ash self-compacting concrete
Source abstract
Abstract
This paper presents an experimental investigation on the fracture mechanical properties of steel fibre-reinforced high-volume fly ash self-compacting concrete (HFSCC). Specifically, self-compacting concrete (SCC) of various toughness was designed at desired steel fibre volume fractions of 0, 0.25 v%, 0.50 v%, 0.75 v% and 1.00 v% by volume and fly ash contents of 40 wt%, 50 wt%, 60 wt% and 70 wt% by mass. The fracture mechanical properties of HFSCC (cured for one year) were studied by a three-point bending beam test. The influence of fly ash and steel fibre content on fracture parameters was systematically discussed. The research indicated that the fracture mechanical properties of HFSCC with different fly ash percentage were improved by adding steel fibres. The fullness of the force (F)-crack mouth opening displacement (CMOD) curves gradually increased with the steel fibre volume fraction (Vf). The peak load (Fp), peak CMOD (CMODP), fracture toughness (KIC) and fracture energy (GF) of the fracture parameters linearly increased with Vf. Furthermore, the correlation between them was analysed numerically. The slope of the fitting line increased with increasing fly ash content, indicating that high-volume fly ash was more conducive to improving the fracture mechanics of SCC after long-term ageing. After the hydration reaction, residual calcium hydroxide was observed only in the cross-sectional image of HFSCC-70, it helped to improve the fracture mechanical properties of HFSCC.
