Abstract:

Nine groups of notched PPFRC beam with different proportions are tested for three-point bending test to study the control variable as polypropylene fiber dosage and length/diameter ratio. Based on double-K fracture model and four-stage fracture model, the influence of polypropylene fiber on different fracture toughness is discussed respectively. The bilinear softening curve of PPFRC is concluded, The influence coefficient is introduced to solve the problem of modifying the empirical calculation formula. The XFEM(Extended finite element method)of ABAQUS was used to simulate the fracture process, and the feasibility of the model was verified by parameter analysis. The results show that the four-stage fracture model is more suitable for judging the failure of PPFRC structure. The macro-crack initiation toughness in the model is positively correlated with the fiber dosage and negatively correlated with the length/diameter ratio. The structural failure toughness is positively correlated with the fiber dosage and length/diameter ratio. The macro crack initiation toughness and structural failure toughness of 12 kg/m3 and 20 mm polypropylene fiber concrete are 9.80 MPa·m1/2 and 55.32 MPa·m1/2. The βp of macro fiber introduced in bilinear softening constitutive equation is 0.849; The value of βp of micro fiber is in the range of 0.409-0.552 and increases with the increase of aspect ratio.

Key words: architecture material, polypropylene fiber, fracture toughness, extended finite element method(XFEM), bilinear softening curve
