Abstract
This work explores the dynamic fracture characteristics of recycled tyre polymer (RTP) fibre reinforced concrete after exposure to 20, 105, 250, 400 and 600 °C. Split Hopkinson pressure bar tests were performed to characterize the dynamic compressive properties under strain rates of 40–120 s−1, in terms of the failure mode, strain-stress response, dynamic strength, dynamic increase factor (DIF), peak strain and energy absorption capacity. Results indicate that the failure pattern varies from splitting failure to core failure, and finally to pulverization failure due to strain rate effect, regardless of exposure temperatures. The dynamic strength and DIF are enhanced by strain rate effect but drop by 56.1% and 23.9% at 600 °C, respectively, while no explosive spalling occurs because of the thermal expansion of RTP fibres. The temperature-dependent dynamic fracture mechanism is closely related to the physicochemical reactions in the concrete matrix, bridging or rupture of RTP fibres and breaking of coarse aggregates.
