Fracture Energy of Reactive Powder Concrete Based on Uniaxial Tensile Test

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on uniaxial tensile test, the complete uniaxal tensile stress-strain curve of Reactive Powder Concrete (the steel fiber content by volume is Vf =1%, 2%) was obtained, and the fracture energy of RPC specimens with cross-section of 100mm by 100mm was calculated. The test was finished through Universal Testing Machine without any stiffness-strengthen devices. In order to solve the stress concentration problem, a self-designed uniaxial tensile test equipment was developed, and a dumbbell-shaped specimen was used in the test. The results indicate that the fracture energy of RPC increased as well as the increasing of Vf.
