Impact response of fibre reinforced


geopolymer concrete beams with
BFRP bars and stirrups
formation
Abstract (Short)

geopolymer concrete (GPC) structures reinforced with fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) under
static loadings,

aiming at developing an alternative of the traditional constructions with ordinary Portland


concrete (OPC) and steel reinforcement because GPC is a sustainable construction material
and FRP is corrosion resistant. Study of the dynamic performance of GPC structures reinforced
with FRP is, however, very limited.

This study investigates the impact response of ambient cured GPC beams reinforced with
different types of fibres and basalt fibre reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars. Four GPC beams
reinforced with steel fibres or synthetic fibres and two control beams made of GPC and OPC
without fibre reinforcement were cast and cured under ambient conditions. The volume
fraction of fibres varied from 0 to 0.5% were used in concrete mix and BFRP bars and stirrups
were used for longitudinal and transverse reinforcements respectively.

All the beams were tested under drop-weight impact and after impact tests, the damaged
beams were monotonically loaded under three-point bending tests to obtain the residual
strength. The experimental results demonstrate that the presence of fibres reduced damages in
the crushing zone and mitigated the concrete cover spalling at the bottom of the beams. Also,
increasing the volume fraction of fibres shifted the crack patterns and failure modes of the
beams from shear-flexure to flexural dominance. (?? what is shear-flexure to flexureal
dominance. Meaning the cause of failure is now bending so it is flexural dominance. Flexural
means in this context? Pure bending?)
tensile
However, adding fibres had insignificant effects on the peak impact force, reaction forces, and
midspan displacement. The findings from the residual strength tests indicate that the beams
with higher fibre dosage which failed in flexural dominance mode under impact loading have
smaller residual strength, different from the expected performance observed in the fibre
reinforced concrete beams under static load. Discussions are provided to explain these
observations.

Since the production of Portland cement is energy intensive and re- leases an enormous amount of carbon
dioXide and other pollutants into the atmosphere, sustainable materials such as geopolymer concrete (GPC)
have been received a lot of research attention in recent decades. In recent years, GPC can be synthesized
under ambient conditions with satisfactory compressive strength [1]

Previous studies show several superior mechanical characteristics of GPC in comparison with ordinary
Portland concrete (OPC) including high bonding strength with reinforcing steel bars [2], better fire
endurance [3], and better resistance to an acidic environment [4]

Despite those excellent properties, GPC shows lower resistance to cracking than OPC due to the much lower
fracture energy [5].

To deal with this problem, a GPC composite reinforced with hybrid steel and synthetic fibres have been
developed and demonstrated good mechanical properties in terms of ductility, post-peak behaviour in
flexural tests, and toughness [6]. The inclusion of fibres also improves significantly the performance of GPC
composite under dynamic splitting tension and compression [7,8].

However, due to the intrinsically brittle characteristic of a highly cross-link framework of geopolymeric
matriX [5], the ambient-cured GPC structures also exhibit several adverse effects such as lower cracking load
and more brittle failure when comparing with OPC ones [1,15]
