摘要
A high performance fibre-reinforced cementitious composite (HPFRCC) material is developed to be used for retrofitting reinforced concrete members. It can be applied to the face of a concrete member to the desired thickness as a wet mix or as an adhesively-bonded prefabricated slab or strip. The material is compatible with concrete and possesses favourable strength and ductility properties, desirable for seismic retrofit. It overcomes some of the problems associated with the current techniques based on externally bonded steel plates and fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates caused mainly by the mismatch of their tensile strength and stiffness with that of the concrete member being retrofitted. An extensive rheological analysis is undertaken to develop the appropriate mixes using different types and mix proportions of constituent materials including; fine steel fibres, fine quartz sand, silica fume, cement and superplasticizer. Much reduced amounts of steel fibres are used compared to the previous studies so that ordinary mixing procedures could be applied and a more cost-effective retrofitting material could be developed. Samples made of the optimum mixes are shown to posses very high compressive and tensile strengths and sufficient ductility for the composite plaster to be used externally for strengthening and seismic retrofitting of concrete members.
