Abstract:
The anti-splitting property and durability are important indexes for developing structural crack damage and the bearing capacity of structures. Incorporating fiber can significantly improve the safety performance of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. However, the enhancement effect of different fiber content on the properties is different under severe corrosion environments. Therefore, durability tests of polypropylene (PP) fiber concrete with different volume contents are carried out to explore the best fiber volume content for corrosion resistance in this study, and the bonding failure mechanism of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) was studied. The test indicated that the high PP fiber content (1.5 %) has the best crack inhibition ability in severe corrosion environments (15 %), and the fiber content of 0.5 % has a better enhancement effect on the bond strength, bond ductility, and bond stiffness of polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete (PFRC) specimens. When the content of PP fiber was 0.5 %, 1.0 %, and 1.5 %, the bond strength was increased by 3.99 %, 6.80 % and 7.98 %, respectively. The energy dissipation of specimens with 1.0 % fiber content was 4.1 % and 12.3 % higher than that of specimens with 0.5 % and 1.5 % fiber content. A semi-empirical formula for calculating the bond strength considering the fiber content and corrosion level was proposed and a four-stage bond-slip constitutive model was also proposed. Finally, a finite element model considering the corrosion distribution and the bonding properties was established, and the simulated values are in good agreement with the experimental values. This study concluded the bonding failure mechanism of PFRC structures under a corrosion environment and provides theoretical support for evaluating the bearing capacity and bond strength of corroded PFRC beams.
