Study on the uniaxial tensile behavior of an FRP grid-ECC composite layer

In this paper, an experimental and theoretical study on the uniaxial tensile behavior of a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) grid-engineered cementitious composite (ECC) composite layer is described. Based on the test parameters, including the ECC material properties, the ECC cross-sectional area and t...

description In this paper, an experimental and theoretical study on the uniaxial tensile behavior of a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) grid-engineered cementitious composite (ECC) composite layer is described. Based on the test parameters, including the ECC material properties, the ECC cross-sectional area and the FRP grid cross-sectional area, three groups of ECC specimens and six groups of composite layer specimens were tested to reveal their joint action mechanism and tensile behavior. The experimental results showed two failure modes: fibers were pulled off or pulled out in the ECC specimens, and in the composite layer specimens, part of the fiber bars in the FRP grid was pulled off. The stress–strain curves show three stages: the elastic stage, softening stage and hardening stage. Due to the reinforcement of the FRP grid, the ultimate stress of the composite layer increased significantly compared with that of the ECC specimens. The composite layer softening strain was primarily related to the ECC softening strain, and the ultimate strain was primarily related to the FRP grid fracture strain. Moreover, a three-stage model was proposed to predict the stressstrain relationship, exhibiting a higher prediction accuracy and smaller dispersion compared with the three existing models.
