In order to investigate the effects of steel fiber volume fractions, PVA (polyvinyl alcohols) fiber volume fractions and slag powder replacement ratios on the uniaxial compression stress-strain curve of S-PVA HFHPC (steel-PVA hybrid fiber high performance concrete). A total of 84 specimens were designed and fabricated, with steel fibers, PVA fibers, and slag powder dosage serving as the primary test variables. Comprehensive uniaxial compression tests were to evaluate the performance of the specimens throughout the entire loading process, which revealed the full-stage mechanical behaviors of S-PVA HFHPC from the elastic phase and yield phase to the failure phase. The results show that the synergistic interaction of S-PVA fibers significantly enhances the mechanical properties of concrete. Compared with HPC (high performance concrete) specimens, the peak stress and elastic modulus of the S-PVA HFHPC specimens increase by up to 42% and 36.7%, respectively, and significantly improve the vertical and transverse strains of concrete. Hybrid fiber interaction reduces the brittleness coefficient by 18.38% and increases the toughness coefficient by 16.38%. Additionally, the failure mode of S-PVA HFHPC transitions from brittle splitting failure to shear failure, characterized by enhanced ductility, owing to the key role of steel fibers in reinforcing the matrix. Furthermore, a practical mathematical model is developed to describe the uniaxial compression stress-strain curve of S-PVA HFHPC.
沿S-PVA HFHPC试件主裂缝剖开对断裂面进行取样并喷金处理,如图14(a)所示。通过泰斯肯(TESCAN MIRA LMS)场发射扫描电镜对S-PVA HFHPC试件断裂面上的PVA纤维形态照射发现,几乎全部PVA纤维在混凝土破坏后都发生断裂,说明这种低弹模、高延性的纤维是通过自身的延长和断裂吸收能量有效桥接了混凝土微裂缝两侧,对微裂缝的发展起到了抑制作用,如图14(b)所示。对PVA纤维表面进一步观察发现,PVA纤维表面附着了大量混凝土碎屑,这表明,在裂缝扩展过程中,PVA纤维与混凝土之间形成了稳定的粘结界面,使得纤维能够有效地与基体材料协同工作,从而增强混凝土的整体韧性,如图14(c)所示。在微裂缝发展初期,PVA纤维的延展性和断裂特性帮助吸收了裂纹扩展过程中释放的能量,延缓了裂缝的进一步发展。证明了PVA纤维在混凝土中的桥接作用和能量吸收功能对混凝土抗断裂性能的重要贡献。
