Study on Dynamic and Static Mechanical Properties of Copper-Plated Steel-Fiber-Reinforced Self-Compacting Concrete

The mechanical properties and impact resistance of conventional self-compacting concrete (SCC) need to be further improved. In order to explore the dynamic and static mechanical properties of copper-plated steel-fiber-reinforced self-compacting concrete (CPSFRSCC), the static mechanical properties and dynamic mechanical properties of CPSFRSCC with a different volume fraction of copper-plated steel fiber (CPSF) are tested, and a numerical experiment is carried out to analyze the experimental results. The results show that the mechanical properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC) can be effectively improved by adding CPSF, especially for the tensile mechanical properties. The static tensile strength of CPSFRSCC shows a trend that increases with the increase in the volume fraction of CPSF and then reaches the maximum when the volume fraction of CPSF is 3%. The dynamic tensile strength of CPSFRSCC shows a trend that increases first and then decrease with the increase in the volume fraction of CPSF, and then reaches the maximum when the volume fraction of CPSF is 2%. The results of the numerical simulation show that the failure morphology of CPSFRSCC is closely related to the content of CPSF; with the increase in the volume fraction of CPSF, the fracture morphology of the specimen gradually evolves from complete fracture to incomplete fracture.
