Fiber Reinforced Concrete Frame Shaking Table Test

Article Preview

Abstract:

Two full scale frames were tested on a shaking table to investigate seismic performance and fracture mechanism of fiber reinforced concrete in contrast to the plain concrete. The information about acceleration response, the maximum strain value as well as the time to reach it, the typical strain - time curves and the crack development of two test frames were presented. Test results indicate that reinforced concrete did not crack during the test; the fiber reinforced concrete could better absorb or consume energy in the process of stress redistribution after peak acceleration; maximum strain and maximum acceleration did not occur at the same time; structure came into being deformation even failure when the seismic energy in the structure gone up to certain extent, and the dynamic failure would be their main failure modes.
