Contribution of Reinforcing Fiber Types on the Mechanical Properties of High Performance Concrete Subjected to High Temperature

Article Preview

Abstract:

The aim of the study is to improve the understanding of the influence of reinforcing fiber types on the mechanical properties of high performance concretes (HPC) subjected to high temperature. The mechanical properties measured include residual compressive strength, weight reduction ratio, outward appearance property, and failure mode. Nylon, polypropylene, and steel fiber were added to enhance mechanical property of the concretes. After exposure to high temperatures ranged from 100 to 800°C, mechanical properties of fiber-toughened HPC were investigated. For HPC, although residual compressive strength was decreased by exposure to high temperature over 500°C, weight reduction ratio was significantly higher than that before heating temperature.
