Tension Softening Behavior of Ultra-Strength Steel Fiber Reinforcement Concrete

초고강도 강섬유 보강 콘크리트의 인장연화 거동

For a better understanding of the fracture behavior of concrete structures, knowledge of the post-cracking behavior of concrete material is essential. The tension softening diagram can describe the post-cracking behavior of concrete in tension. In this paper, Four points bending tests with a notch have been carried out to investigate tensile properties of the steel fiber reinforced concrete(SFRC). Poly-linear approximation method combined with FEM analysis is applied to the steel fiber reinforced concrete to determine the tension softening diagrams and also to certify the validity of the method. The simulated load-CMOD curves using the determined softening diagrams though the poly-linear approximation method completely agree with the measured ones.
