This study has been undertaken to investigate the evaluation of Fiber-reinforced Foamed Concrete (FRFC) performance by the use of toughness and non-destructive tests. These tests cover the workability, density, static modulus of elasticity, toughness, ultrasonic pulse velocity and absorption tests. Different FRFC mixes using carbon fibers in the order of 0.5, 1 and 1.5% carbon fibers were used. Also, the combinations of carbon fibers (C) and polypropylene fibers (PP) as 1% C+ 0.5% PP, and 0.5% C+1% PP were prepared. Lastly, the inclusion of polypropylene fibers with the order of 1.5% PP was used to strengthen the foamed concrete mix. The results showed that the use of 1.5% of C has affected the modulus of elasticity and flexural toughness of foamed concrete. On the other hand, a strong relationship is found between compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity for FRFC.
本研究旨在通过韧性和无损检测来调查纤维增强泡沫混凝土(FRFC)的性能评估。这些测试包括工作性、密度、静态弹性模量、韧性、超声波脉冲速度和吸水率测试。使用了不同的FRFC混合料,其中碳纤维的含量分别为0.5%、1%和1.5%。此外,还制备了碳纤维(C)和聚丙烯纤维(PP)的组合,即1%C + 0.5%PP和0.5%C + 1%PP。最后,使用含量为1.5%PP的聚丙烯纤维来增强泡沫混凝土混合料。结果表明,1.5%的C用量影响了泡沫混凝土的弹性模量和弯曲韧性。另一方面,发现FRFC的抗压强度与超声波脉冲速度之间存在很强的关系。
