Evaluation of the Behavior of Carbon Short Fiber Reinforced Concrete (CSFRC) Based on a Multi-Sensory Experimental Investigation and a Numerical Multiscale Approach

Carbon fiber reinforcement used in concrete has become a remarkable alternative to steel fibers. Admixing short fibers to fresh concrete and processing the material with a 3D printer leads to an orientation of fibers and a material with high uniaxial strength properties, which offers an economic use...

Evaluation of the Behavior of Carbon Short Fiber Reinforced Concrete (CSFRC) Based on a Multi-Sensory Experimental Investigation and a Numerical Multiscale Approach
description Carbon fiber reinforcement used in concrete has become a remarkable alternative to steel fibers. Admixing short fibers to fresh concrete and processing the material with a 3D printer leads to an orientation of fibers and a material with high uniaxial strength properties, which offers an economic use of fibers. To investigate its mechanical behavior, the material is subjected to flexural and tensional tests, combining several measuring techniques. Numerical analysis complements this research. Computed tomography is used with several post-processing algorithms for separating matrix and fibers. This helps to validate fiber alignment and serves as input data for numerical analysis with representative volume elements concatenating real fiber position and orientation with the three-dimensional stress tensor. Flexural and uniaxial tensional tests are performed combining multiple measuring techniques. Next to conventional displacement and strain measuring methods, sound emission analysis, in terms of quantitative event analysis and amplitude appraisal, and also high-resolution digital image correlation accompany the tests. Due to the electrical conductibility of carbon fibers, the material’s resistivity could be measured during testing. All sensors detect the material’s degradation behavior comparably, showing a strain-hardening effect, which results from multiple, yet locally restricted and distributed, microcracks arising in combination with plastic deformation.
