Abstract
This study investigates the influence of High-Toughness Polypropylene (HTPP) fiber content (0 %, 0.3 %, 0.6 %, 0.9 %) on the axial compressive performance of ceramsite concrete. Four sets of ceramsite concrete cube and prism specimens were prepared, and the cube compressive strength and full stress-strain curves for each set were tested. Based on the experimental results, it analyzed the variation characteristics of HTPP fibers on the stress-strain curve of ceramic concrete at different stages, studied the peak stress, peak strain, elastic modulus, toughness, and energy absorption capacity of ceramic concrete. Finally, the stress-strain curve has been fitted. The results indicate that: HTPP fibers can significantly enhance the strength and toughness of ceramic concrete, the compressive strength of the cube increased by 23.8 %, the axial compressive strength increased by 19.0 %, the residual stress increased by 143.0 %, the absolute modulus increased by 164.1 %, the toughness increased by 51.5 %, and the energy dissipation coefficient increased by 9.4 %. By fitting the experimental curve, the mathematical expression for the uniaxial compressive stress-strain curve of ceramic concrete reinforced with high tenacity polypropylene (HTPP) fibers has been proposed. The model matches well with the experimental results, which provides a theoretical basis for the structural analysis and design of this type of concrete.
