Abstract:
The dynamic splitting tensile behavior of UHTCC (ultra high toughness cementitious composites) and RPC (reactive powder concrete) were analyzed using a 80-mm-diameter SHPB (split Hopkinson pressure bar). The dynamic tensile strength, tensile compressive strength ratio, energy absorption and failure mode of the two materials were investigated.The results show that dynamic tensile strength of the two materials are rate sensitive, and the dynamic splitting tensile strength of RPC is higher than that of UHTCC. However, the dynamic tensile compressive strength ratio of UHTCC is higher than RPC. The energy absorption ability of the two materials increase with the increasing impact velocity.
