Composite Properties and Micromechanical Analysis of Highly Ductile Cement Composite Incorporating Limestone Powder

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the effect of limestone powder on the compressive strength, tensile behavior, and micromechanical parameters of a highly ductile cement composite incorporating limestone powder. Four mixtures were determined according to the replacement ratio of cement with limestone powder. A series of experiments including compressive strength, uniaxial tension, single fiber pullout, and matrix toughness tests were performed. Test results showed that the strength (c… Show more

“…An electric universal testing machine with a maximum capacity of 20 kN was used, and the test was carried out under displacement control at a loading rate of 0.1 mm/ min. Load was measured using a load cell attached to the machine; for displacement measurement, jigs were installed on the upper and bottom sides of the specimen, where its cross section (30 mm × 13 mm) remained constant, and two linear variable differential transducers (LVDTs) were also attached there [24,25]. e deformation of specimens occurring within the gauge length of 80 mm was measured by LVDTs, and the resulting two displacement measurements were averaged to calculate the average strain of each specimen.…”

“…The stress performance index first involves cracking strength and is defined as the ratio of the tensile strength of the composite to the initial cracking strength. Both the energy and stress performance indices must be larger than the unity to ensure multiple cracking behavior [23]. Fibers have a very important role in the crack bridging action of ECC composites, and fiber rupture depends on fiber strength and their chemical bonding within the concrete matrix [24].…”

“…For analysis of fiber reinforced concrete stiffness modeling through numerical homogenization was used [7]. During the cracking phase of specimen approximately half of the internal energy dissipated in cracking the matrix and remaining energy dissipated in fiber pull out [8][9][10]. The stresses at interfacial zone of fiber matrix interface were calculated for various volume fractions for longitudinal loading [11,12].…”
