Abstract:
This study investigates the residual mechanical properties of steel-polypropylene fiber reinforced ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) subjected to elevated temperatures with a rapid heating rate, including cube compressive strength, axial compressive strength, flexural strength, stress-strain curve, and elastic modulus. A total of 189 specimens with three steel fiber contents are prepared. According to experimental results, the strength of UHPC undergoes a strengthening stage as the temperature rises, and decreases after exceeding the critical temperature. The strength of UHPC is significantly improved with increased steel fiber content below 400 °C. However, the strength enhancement of UHPC by steel fibers is weakened at higher temperatures. Interestingly, UHPC exhibits a gentler strength change at the rapid heating rate compared to the constant low heating rate, both during the strengthening and degradation stages. The calculation formulas for the mechanical properties of UHPC after elevated temperatures are established, which shows a good agreement with test results. © 2025
