Research on the Mechanical Behavior of Styropor Concrete at High Strain Rates

Article Preview

Abstract:

Mechanical behavior of Styropor concrete(EPSC) added with various volumetric fractions of EPS subjected to high strain rates were studied by using the Large-Diameter-SHPB. The infection of volumetric fractions and average strain rate to dynamic properties of EPSC were investigated. The experimental results show that under high strain rate condition, the dynamic strength, dynamic strength increase factor(DIF) and limit strain of EPSC are strain rate dependent, the strain rate effect can be expressed by linear approximations, and the relationship between elastic modulus and average strain rate is independent.With the addition of volumetric fractions of EPS, the impact compressive strength and elastic modulus of EPSC declines, and the toughness of EPSC is reinforced.
