超高性能混凝土弯曲疲劳性能的尺寸效应

Size effect on flexural fatigue performance of ultra-high performance concrete

  • 摘要: 为明确超高性能混凝土(Ultra-High Performance Concrete,UHPC)弯曲疲劳性能的尺寸效应,采用2%体积含量平直钢纤维增强的UHPC制作了40 mm×40 mm×160 mm和100 mm×100 mm×400 mm两种尺寸试件,并分别对其进行了不同应力水平下的弯曲疲劳试验。结果显示:40 mm小尺寸和100 mm大尺寸试件的静力弯曲极限强度分别为31.64 MPa和28.53 MPa,而弯曲疲劳强度比分别在0.7~0.75和0.63~0.68范围内;疲劳破坏时,大尺寸试件的变形发展呈现典型的3阶段发展规律,而小尺寸试件变形的发展无明显的第3阶段。随着尺寸的增大,试件疲劳强度相应降低,且弯曲疲劳强度的尺寸效应较静力强度更为明显。建立了UHPC弯曲疲劳试验数据库,提出了考虑尺寸影响的UHPC弯曲疲劳方程,可用其对不同尺寸特定UHPC (2%体积含量平直钢纤维)试件的弯曲疲劳寿命进行较好预测,并讨论了试件的临界尺寸。

     

    Abstract: To investigate the size effect on the flexural fatigue performance of Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC), UHPC reinforced with 2% volume fraction of straight steel fibers was used to prepare two sizes of specimens with dimensions of 40 mm×40 mm×160 mm and 100 mm×100 mm×400 mm. Both types of specimens were subjected to flexural fatigue loading tests at different stress levels. The results show that the static flexural strengths of the 40 mm specimens and the 100 mm specimens are 31.64 MPa and 28.53 MPa, and their flexural fatigue strength ratios range from 0.7-0.75 and 0.63-0.68, respectively. The deformation development of large-size specimens with fatigue failure exhibits a typical three-stage evolution, while no obvious third stage appears in the deformation curves of small-size specimens. With the increase of UHPC specimen size, the fatigue strength decreases accordingly. Moreover, the size effect of flexural fatigue strength is more significant than that of the static flexural strength. A database of UHPC flexural fatigue tests was established. Based on this database, a UHPC flexural fatigue equation considering the size effect was proposed, which can be used to predict the fatigue life of UHPC with 2% volume fraction of straight steel fibers for different specimen sizes. The critical size for the size effect of UHPC flexural fatigue strength was discussed.
