Abrasion Depth-Mechanical Properties Relations of Low-Cost PVA Engineered Cementitious Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

Five engineered cementitious composite mixtures were adopted in this study with five different contents of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0% of untreated low cost PVA fiber. Four different test specimens were prepared from the five mixtures to conduct several tests. Abrasion tests were conducted using 300 mm discs for six time steps each of 12 hours, while 100 mm cubes were used to evaluate the compressive strength. Cylinders with 100 mm diameter and 200 mm depth were adopted for splitting tensile strength, while four-point bending tests were conducted using small concrete beams with a span of 210 mm. The modulus of rupture was calculated from the tested beams, while the stiffness and elastic energy were calculated based on the load and deflection records of the beams. The tests showed that compressive strength did not affected noticeably by fiber inclusion, while all other mechanical quantities in addition to abrasion resistance exhibited significant improvement due to PVA fiber effect. The stiffness, splitting tensile strength, modulus of rupture and elastic energy exhibited maximum developments of 45, 134, 287 and 1181%, respectively, due fiber addition to the mixture. Quadratic formulas were found to be very accurate to correlate the relationship between abrasion depth in millimeters and each of splitting tensile strength, modulus of rupture and elastic energy, where R2 values of these relations were between 96.7 and 99.5%.
