Abstract:

The durability under dynamic loading is crucial for diverse concrete structures, including buildings subjected to seismic forces as well as hydraulic and floating concrete structures in turbulent water conditions. Ultra-high-toughness cementitious composites (UHTCC) exhibit exceptional ductility, high plastic deformation capability, multiple-cracking behaviour, excellent energy dissipation, and satisfactory strength. Consequently, UHTCC holds significant promise for enhancing the resilience of concrete structures in engineering application. This study provides a comprehensive review on the dynamic properties and damage patterns of UHTCC reinforced with different fibers in various dynamic loading conditions, including unidirectional, cyclic, instantaneous penetration, and seismic loading. The material models and analysis results from numerical simulations of UHTCC are also discussed. The findings indicate that UHTCC can offer superior deformation capacity and enhanced energy dissipation properties compared to conventional concrete when subjected to dynamic excitations. The combination of steel fiber (SF) and synthetic fiber can effectively enhance the dynamic strength of UHTCC without significantly compromising its strain-hardening characteristics. UHTCC exhibits a longer service life than conventional concrete when exposed to cyclic and fatigue force. In scenarios involving projectile impacts, blast, and seismic loads, UHTCC structures maintain their integrity, thereby mitigating potential injuries. Finite element simulations of UHTCC structures necessitate highly ductile and elastoplastic material models. Future research could explore the use of more environmentally friendly fibers in UHTCC preparation and further investigate its dynamic properties at micro-level.
