Abstract:
To explore the flexural fatigue performance of steel fibers reinforced recycled aggregate concrete (SF-RAC), the flexural fatigue test and residual strength test with different stress levels were conducted. Besides, the fatigue cracks propagation under cyclic loading were observed and analyzed by digital image correlation (DIC) technology. The results show that the flexural fatigue life of SF-RAC increases when the content of steel fibers increases, and it is proved to be well in accordance with the three-parameter Weibull distribution. The flexural fatigue life equation with different stress level and reliability (S-N-P equation) is obtained based on it, which shows that when the fiber volume content is 1.5%, the fatigue strength of SF-RAC is about 37.2% higher than that of RAC without fibers. Then, a fatigue strain-based damage evolution model is established, and the derived residual strength model can well predict the damage degree and residual life of SF-RAC. Moreover, the steel fibers can improve the critical crack propagation length and loading cycles of RAC. The crack propagation rate can be decreased by 97.63% when the fiber volume content is 1.5%, and it is increased with the development of stress level. Finally, the influence mechanism of steel fibers on flexural fatigue performance of RAC were explained through microstructure tests.
