Water Impact-Abrasion Erosion of Hybrid Fiber-Reinforced High Performance Concrete

Abstract:

Aiming to evaluate the resistance of High Performance Concrete (HPC) against the abrasion erosion due to the continual impact of water and water borne materials, six HPC mixtures reinforced with different fibers and fiber combinations were prepared and tested experimentally in this study. All mixtures share the same contents of all materials, while the types and combinations of fibers used were different among the mixtures. All mixtures included a total of 2.5% volumetric content of fibers. The mixture S6 included pure 6 mm micro-steel fiber (S6), S15 mixture included pure 15 mm micro-steel fiber (S15), while the S6-S15 mixture included 1.25% of each of S6 and S15. S6-PP and S15-PP included 2.0% of S6 or S15, respectively, in combination with 0.5% of polypropylene fiber (PP), while the sixth mixture included 1.0% S6, 1.0% S15 and 0.5% PP. The impact abrasion test was conducted on 200×200 mm plat targets with 50 mm thickness that were fixed perpendicular to a water jet with a high speed of 20 m/s. The results revealed that all HPC mixtures exhibited much higher abrasion resistance than normal concrete. The results also showed that the S15 mixture was the one with highest abrasion resistance with an abrasion loss of only approximately 20 grams after 12 hours testing.
