Dynamic performance of fiber-reinforced ultra-high toughness cementitious composites: A comprehensive review from materials to structural applications

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 loa..
