Tensile Properties of Steel Fiber-Reinforced Reactive Powder Concrete after High Temperature

Article Preview

Abstract:

87 prismatic flexural steel fiber-reinforced reactive powder concrete (RPC) specimens with the size of 40mm×40mm×160mm were tested as well as 87 dumbbell-shaped axis tensile RPC specimens after being exposed to different high temperatures. The effect of steel fiber content and heating temperature on the flexural and tensile strength of steel fiber-reinforced RPC was analyzed. With the steel fiber content increasing, the flexural and tensile strength of steel fiber-reinforced RPC after high temperature improve significantly, and they increase first and then decrease with the heating temperature elevated, and the critical temperatures are 200¡æ and 120¡æ, respectively. Equations are established to express the relationship between the flexural and tensile strength of steel fiber-reinforced RPC and the heating temperature. The theoretical curves are in good agreement with the test data.
