High Performance Fiber Composites with Enhanced Energy Absorption for Underground Construction

Abstract:

In order to provide higher energy absorption capacity in fiber reinforced composites, it is normally required to use more volumes of fibers. This leads to economical limitations as the fiber content usually controls the cost of the composite mix. This research has tried to enhance the energy absorption capacity of the composite while keeping the fiber content constant or at the minimum possible value. A series of laboratory tests were conducted in Iran and Turkey with the same material and fiber type and some recommendations for achieving the optimized results were proposed. Beam and panel tests were used to account for the energy absorption and the results were used for tunnel lining design.
