Abstract:
In order to study the bending resistance and damage evolution of precast-beam with engineered cementitious composites (hereafter known as ECC) floor, 11 specimens were designed and manufactured. The bending behaviors of specimens with different reinforcement ratios, thicknesses of ECC floor and connecting types of steel bars were studied through bending test. Fractal theory was applied to study the relationship between the fractal dimension and the mid-span displacement, ductility, first-order frequency, dynamic stiffness and static stiffness degradation of the specimen. Damage evolution law of dynamic stiffness and static stiffness degradation was put forward. The results show that the ductility, yield force, yield displacement and fractal dimension at failure point of beams with precast ECC layers improve compared with ordinary reinforced concrete beams.The ductility and failure factor increase with the fractal dimension; the bending stiffness and first-order frequency decrease with the increasing of the fractal dimension. Fractal theory provides a new method to estimate the damage evolution of the specimen and thus can be applied in engineering practice. © 2020, Editorial Office of Journal of Building Structures.
