Popis: The dynamic properties of concrete structures after being exposed to high temperatures play a crucial role in post-disaster repair and accident prevention measures. This study examined three different mixture ratios of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) with matrix strength of C60 and steel fiber contents of 0%, 1%, and 2%. A Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) with a diameter of 75 mm, along with a heating furnace, was employed to comprehensively investigate the dynamic compression behavior of materials. The specimens were exposed to temperatures ranging from 200 °C to 600 °C. In addition to evaluating the extent of mechanical degradation in SFRC after cooling, auxiliary impact experiments were also carried out at ambient temperature. The experimental data revealed that the dynamic peak stress and peak strain initially increased but eventually decreased as the loading rates continued to rise. The degree of strengthening, toughening, and energy absorption capacity of concrete materials progressively decreased as the escalation of strain rate after the cooling process. Moreover, the inclusion of steel fibers proved effective in preventing cracking and damage to the concrete, preserving the integrity of specimens even at higher temperatures. Simultaneously, the residual stress and deformation capacity of SFRC showed considerable enhancement after exposure to elevated temperatures.
