Experimental Research on the Flexural Failure Properties of Green High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites (GHPFRCC)

Abstract:

Green high performance fiber reinforced cementitious composites (GHPFRCC) is a new class of Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) with high volume fly ash based on the orthogonal experimental method. Focus is placed on the flexural failure properties of GHPFRCC, considering the influences factors like fly ash content, water-binder ratio, sand-binder ratio, PVA (Polyvinyl Alcohol) fiber and water reducing agent, et al. The experimental results indicate that the failure process of GHPFRCC beam can be divided into three stages including elastic stage, yield stage and failure stage. The multiple fine cracks appeared in the specimen can effectively dissipate energy.
