Abstract

The dynamic performance of polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete is studied with the SHPB experiment. The relationship of the strain-stress curves are all obtained in the experiment. The crack characteristics of polypropylene reinforced concrete and plain concrete are also investigated. Analyzed the relation between the character on the crack surface of concrete and material properties and the impact pressure. Also the multi-fractal characteristics are given on the crack surface of concrete. The crack distributions of plain concrete and polypropylene concrete are investigated. The crack resistance effects of polypropylene fiber are analyzed from the degree of closeness and uniformity.

Keywords:
