| Popis: | Shotcrete is widely used in civil engineering as a supporting structure. In this paper, the compressive behavior of ultra-high-performance shotcrete (UHPSC) with different steel fiber content by volume (0, 0.5%, 0.75%, 1%, 1.25%, 1.5%) was investigated. The results showed that the failure pattern of UHPSC was changed from brittle failure to ductile failure with the increase in steel fiber content. The compressive strength, peak strain and compressive toughness of UHPSC increased with the increase in steel fiber content, but the elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratio did not change significantly. With content of 1.5% steel fibers, its axial compressive strength, peak strain and compressive strain energy were 122.7 MPa, 3749 με and 0.269 MPa, respectively, increased by 14%, 23.5% and 55.5% compared with those without steel fiber. The peak strain and compressive toughness were higher than that of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC), while the elastic modulus of UHPSC was lower than that of UHPC. Based on the experimental data, the relationship between compressive strength, peak strain, compressive toughness and the change in the characteristic value of steel fiber content (λf) were revealed. The uniaxial compressive constitutive model of UHPSC with different steel fiber content was established and reflected the change rule of the shape parameter of α (constitutive model ascending section) and β (constitutive model descending section) with λf. The experimental results were in good agreement with the model calculation results, which can provide theoretical support for the structural design of UHPSC. |
