Dynamic Flexural Behaviors of AR-Glass Textile–Reinforced Concrete after Exposure to Elevated Temperatures
Publication: Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering
Volume 35, Issue 12
Abstract
Textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) is used widely in thin-walled structures due to its unique construction characteristics and superior mechanical properties. However, previous studies of the dynamic flexural properties of alkali resistant (AR)-glass TRC thin plates did not consider the influence of exposure to high temperature. In this study, the effect of impact velocity (range from 1.29 to ) on AR-glass TRC after exposure to elevated temperatures up to 400°C was investigated experimentally using a drop-tower impact system. AR-glass TRC specimens were heated to target temperatures (100°C, 200°C, 300°C, and 400°C) in a furnace and then tested at room temperature. The effects of exposure to high temperature and the strain rate of loading (impact velocity) on the flexural mechanical properties were measured, and the microstructure and damage evolution of the composites was evaluated. Results show that the strain rate had a direct effect on the flexural properties of AR-glass TRC composite under impact after exposure to high temperatures. Furthermore, the weakening effect of high temperature in AR-glass TRC material could equal or even exceed the hardening effect due to the strain rate. The results were evaluated by comparing dynamic flexural stress and toughness features. Finally, the high-temperature deterioration mechanism of AR-glass TRC material was determined by comparing the changes in the matrix–textile interface and the textile fracture after exposure to different temperatures.
