DYNAMIC MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF ECOLOGICAL REACTIVE POWDER CONCRETE

Two types of ecological reactive powder concretes (ECO-RPC) were prepared by substitution of ultra-fine industrial was te for 50%～60% cement by weight and replacement of ground fine quartz sand with natural fine sand. Through Hopkinson bar experiment the effect of strain rate, s teel fiber volume fraction and matrix composition on the dynamic mechanical prop erties and fracture pattern of ECO-RPC were researched.The results showed that ECO-RPC has strain rate strengthen effect. Peak stress and strain at peak stres s increase with the increase of strain rate.The dynamic mechanical prope rties of fiber reinforced ECO-RPC are superior to those of ECO-RPC matrix and ECO-RPC with fiber shows great toughness and ductility during the course of fra cture.The composition effects of ultra-fine industrial waste give benefit for t he matrix micro-structure and strengthen the bond between fiber and matrix so a s to make fracture pattern change from brittleness to toughness.
