Abstract:
To study the effects of the glass fiber net and hybrid fibers on the bending behavior of ultra-high perform-ance con-crete(UHPC)two-way slabs, bending tests of simply supported slabs were conducted on four sides. Effects of glass fiber net layers, single-doped steel fiber(SF), and steel fiber blended with polyvinyl alcohol(PVA), glass fiber(GF), and basalt fi-ber(BF)on the failure mode, bearing capacity, and flexural toughness of UHPC slabs were studied. Results show that the blending of 1.0% SF and 0.5% PVA(1.0% SF/0.5% PVA)fibers has the most considerable effect on the reinforcement and toughening of the UHPC slabs when the total content of shortcut fibers in the UHPC slab without grid is 1.5%. Compared with UHPC slabs doped with 1.5% SF, 0.5% SF/1.0% PVA, 0.5% SF/1.0% GF, 0.5% SF/1.0% BF, and 0.5% SF/1.0% BF, the ultimate bearing capacity and energy absorption values at a deflection of 10mm are increased by 33.7%, 53.3%, 43.2%, 117.0% and 14.3%, 81.8%, 46.1%, and 107.5%, respectively. The ductility and maintained load capacity of UHPC slabs doped with 1.5% SF are greater than those of hybrid fiber UHPC slabs. Compared with specimens without a glass fiber net, the glass fiber net can effectively inhibit the initiation and propagation of main cracks in the UHPC slabs and allow the slabs to exhibit deformation-hardening characteristics. The significant redistribution of internal forces occurs in UHPC slabs with a net arrangement, and the ultimate bearing capacity and flexural toughness considerably increase with the increase of net layers. The increase of bearing capacity and energy absorption of UHPC slabs doped with 1.5% SF gradually decreases with the in-crease of net layers. The strain hardening behavior of hybrid fiber UHPC slabs increases with the number of net layers. The test proves that the effective stress and utilization ratio of the net are negatively correlated with the number of layers of the net, whereas the bending bearing capacity is positively correlated with the number of layers of the net. The hybrid of 1.0% SF and 0.5% PVA fiber results in the highest utilization ratio of the glass fiber net and exhibits the most significant improvement of the bending capacity of UHPC slabs. © 2022, Editorial Board of Journal of Tianjin University(Science and Technology).
