Flexural Behavior of Reinforced HPFRCC Beams
Authors
Abstract:
High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composite (HPFRCC) materials exhibit strain hardening behavior with multiple cracking under tensile loading. In this paper, experimental and parametric studies are performed to assess the influence of using HPFRCC material instead of normal concrete in reinforced concrete beams. After calibrating the experimental results, the analytical results including ductility and plastic hinge characteristics for simply supported beams with different values of compressive strengths are presented and compared with each other and also with the experimental data, where available. The analytical and experimental results indicate that using HPFRCC material instead of normal concrete in RC beams concluded to an increase in ultimate load, deflection, ductility ratio, plastic hinge length and rotation capacity compared to RC beams. In RH beam, fibers act as extra steel reinforcements and high ductility of this beam is attained by existence of this fibers and bridging mechanism of them which prevent the crushing of compressive HPFRCC material.

In this paper, the flexural behavior of High-performance Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Composite (HPFRCC) has been investigated, especially focusing on the localization of cracks, which significantly governs the flexural behavior of HPFRCC members. From four points bending tests with HPFRCC members, it was observed that almost evenly distributed cracks formed gradually, followed by a localized ...
full textFlexural Behavior of Cementitious Composites Reinforced by Synthetic Fibers
The application of fibers to reinforce cementitious materials is a well-known subject. At first, asbestos fibers are used in industrial process to produce fiber reinforced cement sheets. Thereafter, various types of synthetic fibers are produced and used as asbestos substitutes. The aim of the present work is to evaluate the effect of synthetic fibers on the flexural behavior of cementitious co...

This study evaluated the effect of macro steel fiber (SF), micro glass fiber (GF) and micro polypropylene fiber (PF) in lightweight aggregate concrete, (LWAC) beams reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars. Firstly, concrete mixtures with different volume fractions of GF, PF and SF were tested up to compressive strength, then determine the optimum fiber content GF, PF and SF a...
