This research investigated the effects of matrix strength on the direct tensile behavior of high performance hybrid fiber reinforced cementitious composites (HPHFRCCs) at high strain rates. 3 different type matrixes were used (56 MPa, 81 MPa and 180 MPa). And macro fiber was long hooked fiber (H, =0.3 mm,=30 mm) and micro fiber was short smooth fiber (S, =0.2 mm, =13 mm). The volume content of macro fibers was 1.0% and the volume content of micro fibers was 1.0%. The high matrix strength clearly increased the tensile strength and peak toughness of HPHFRCCs even at high strain rates (74 ~ 161 /sec).
This paper reports the development of upgraded strain energy frame impact machine (SEFIM) with larger and faster impact capacity. The impact load capacity of SEFIM was improved by applying a 200 tonf hydraulic jack while the impact velocity was significantly increased by reducing the diameter of energy frame and by applying different materials in the energy frame. In addition, the length of transmitter bar was increased to capture pure material response by avoiding the influence of reflected stress wave in the transmitter bar. Experimental test results showed the faster strain rate (186 /sec) than that (10-40 /sec) of previous SEFIM.
This research investigated the effects of adding micro fibers on the direct tensile behavior of ultra-high-performance hybrid-fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPHFRC) at high strain rates. Macro fiber was long smooth fiber (LS, Df=0.3mm, Lf=30mm) and micro fiber was short smooth fiber (SS, Df=0.2mm, Lf=13mm). The volume content of macro fibers was 1.0% and the volume content of micro fibers varied between 0.0 and 1.0%. The addition of micro fibers clearly increased the tensile strength of UHPHFRCs even at high strain rates.
