Compressive Strength and Flexural Properties of High Performance Nano-Binder Cementitious Composites

Abstract:

High performance nano-binder cementitious composites (HPNCC) are ultra-ductile fiber reinforced cementitious composites with special matrix. The compressive strength and flexural properties of HPNCC containing nano-SiO2 particles were investigated at age of 3d, 7d, 14d and 28d. According to the results, HPNCC exhibited excellent mechanical properties in the test. The compressive strength, flexural strength and first crack strain of HPNCC were all increased obviously at early age except the ultimate strain. In the flexural test, both crack extension width and the number of fine cracks decrease along with the curing age. However, the average crack spacing has no remarkable changes. Nano-SiO2 particles in HPNCC acted as ultra-fine fillers and catalyzers to strengthen the interfacial bond between the matrix and PVA fiber which improved the mechanical properties and would make HPNCC be widely used in the engineering.
