The purpose of this study was to evaluate the tensile fracture energy absorption capacity of hybrid fiber reinforced cement composite by strain rate. Experiment result, it was confirmed that PVA suppressed the microcrack around the HSF at the strain rate 101/s, which resulted in the improvement of the pullout resistance of the HSF.

The energy absorption capacity of ultra high performance fiber reinforced concretes (UHPFRCs) was investigated at high strain rates (45 – 92 s-1) using a strain energy frame impact machine. The UHPFRCs investigated in this study showed much higher energy absorption capacity, fracture energy, ranging 42 and 71 kJ/m2 at high strain rates than that (31 and 43 kJ/m2) at static rate. The energy absorption capacity of UHPFRC at high strain rates was strongly dependent on fiber type and fiber volume content.
