Study of Relationship between Inorganic Polymer Concrete Cracks and Deflection Based on Fractal Theory

Abstract:

Inorganic polymer concrete（IPC） is a new building material, since it has abundant raw materials, inexpensive, and has little pollution to environment during its manufacturing process and needs little time to condense to high strength; these have caused the domestic and foreign material researchers of great interest. The flexural failure process of inorganic polymer concrete beam was studied based on the mechanical test, study the stiffness of inorganic polymer concrete beam,and fractal analysis were done of the crack pictures getting during the test process by using MATLAB program and the results show that: the tenacity of inorganic polymer concrete beam is better than portland cement concrete beam,the crack development of inorganic polymer concrete beam has fractal feature; The relationship between box dimension and deflection of the beam is analyzed and the quantitative relation curves of them were fitted.
