Abstract
To study the effect of steel fiber length on the axial tensile properties of UHPC, this paper selected straight circular fiber with the same diameter but different lengths and mixed it into UHPC. By conducting analysis on the mechanical properties, tensile deformation, and post-fracture strength of UHPC, the influence of fiber length on the axial tensile properties of UHPC was obtained. Meanwhile, the fracture resistance and toughening effects of fiber length were evaluated, with the reasons for the influence of fiber length on the axial tensile properties of UHPC clarified. The results show that the axial tensile properties of UHPC increase with the rising fiber length. The effect of 20 mm fiber length on the peak UHPC stress increases by 57.76% compared to 6 mm fiber length. The post-fracture strength of UHPC grows with the increasing fiber length. Under the same fracture width and fiber length of 20 mm, the UHPC stress is the highest, and the UHPC stress is the lowest under the fiber length of 6 mm. UHPC with 20 mm fiber length mixed has the maximum deformation in the strain hardening stage, while UHPC with 13 mm fiber length has the maximum deformation in the stress softening stage. The UHPC fluidity decreases with the increasing fiber length. Additionally, the effect of fiber length on the axial tensile properties of UHPC is altered by changing the contact surface size between the fiber and the matrix. Specifically, the longer fiber leads to the larger contact surface between the fiber and the matrix, bringing about stronger cohesion between the fiber and the matrix.
