Abstract
- In order to investigate the effect of steel fiber and polypropylene fiber on shear behavior of HPC deep beams, the shear tests were conducted on 18 different groups of deep beams with steel fiber and polypropylene fiber and 2 groups of HPC deep beams without fiber according to the orthogonal experiment. 6 factors, including the shape of steel fiber, the volume fraction of steel fiber, the aspect ratio of steel fiber, the volume fraction of polypropylene fiber, the ratio of web horizontal reinforcement and the ratio of web vertical reinforcement, were compared by direct-viewing analysis. Results illuminate that hybrid fibers greatly increase the diagonal cracking strength and shear strength of HPC deep beams. The aspect ratio of steel fiber plays the most important role in diagonal cracking strength whereas the ratio of web vertical reinforcement has minimum effect. Meanwhile the ratio of web horizontal reinforcement plays the most important role in shear strength whereas the volume fraction of polypropylene fiber has minimum effect. An anti-cracking capacity for inclined section calculation formula and a shear bearing capacity calculation formula for hybrid fiber reinforced HPC deep beams are put forward based on current code. Meantime test verification is carried out and the calculated results are satisfied.
