Stress-strain relationship of fibre reinforced concrete exposed under elevated temperatures
Aminuddin Jameran1, Izni Syahrizal Ibrahim2.
A research had been done to study the stress-strain relationship of fibre reinforced
concrete (FRC) exposed under elevated temperature. The FRC used were single fibre concrete
and hybrid fibre concrete which is combination of two different properties of fibres i.e. steel (SF)
and polypropylene (PPF) by applying fibres volume fraction at 1.5%. At the same time, the fibres
proportion of steel-to-polypropylene ranged in the following percentages: (100-0), (75-25), (50-
50), (25-75) and (0-100). Cylinder samples of 150 mm diameter ï‚´ 300 mm high were used and
subjected to a compressive load to determine the relationship. All samples were casted and then
water cured for 28 days before exposing them to the desired temperature i.e. 200ï‚°C, 400ï‚°C,
600ï‚°C and 800ï‚°C for 1 hour. For the control specimens, the cylinders were left at room
temperature (27ï‚°C) until the test day. Before placing the cylinders into the compression testing
machine, they were left to cool naturally. All test results were tabulated and the stress-strain
relationships were compared between the variations of the elevated exposure temperature. The
findings show that the addition of fibres only improve the Elastic Modulus of concrete at room
temperatures (27ï‚°C), but when exposed under elevated temperatures, the Elastic Modulus
decreased especially above 400ï‚°. High temperatures caused spalling effect on the specimens
especially when exposed above than 400ï‚°C.
