Finite Element Analysis of Dry Shrinkage of Fiber Cement Mortar

Article Preview

Abstract:

The dry shrinkage deformation of polypropylene fiber mortar was analyzed by ANSYS software and compared with experiment value in this paper. The error of the calculated and experimental results in the 14 days and 28 days are 7.8% and 10.5%. It can be found that the calculated results are in good agreement with test results. The results indicate that the dry shrinkage value of polypropylene fiber mortar is lower than ordinary mortar. Adding polypropylene fibers can inhibit the process of cracking and improve the fracture toughness of cement-based materials.
