description Polypropylene (PP) concrete, a kind of high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete, is widely used in large concrete structures. Studies on the dynamic mechanical properties of polypropylene concrete under temperature–impact load can provide a theoretical basis for research on the structural stability of concrete structures during fires, explosions, and other disasters. The purpose of this paper was to study the dynamic mechanical properties of polypropylene concrete under real-time high-temperature conditions and to establish a dynamic damage constitutive model for polypropylene concrete under real-time high-temperature conditions. In this paper, Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) equipment was used to test the dynamic mechanical properties of polypropylene concrete with different high strain rates under different real-time high temperatures (room temperature, 100 °C, 200 °C, 300 °C, 400 °C, 500 °C, 600 °C, 700 °C, and 800 °C). A modified “Z-W-T” model was used to determine the recursion of the dynamic damage constitutive model of polypropylene concrete under different temperature–impact loads, and the model was compared with the experimental data. The results show that the thermal conditions influenced the chemical composition and microstructure of the polypropylene fiber concrete, which was why the high temperatures had a strong influence on the dynamic mechanical properties of polypropylene concrete. When the heating temperature exceeded 300 °C, although the polypropylene concrete specimen was still able to maintain a certain strength, the dynamic mechanical properties showed a deterioration trend as the temperature increased. The comparation between the experimental data and the fitting curve of the dynamic damage constitutive model showed that the dynamic stress–strain curves could be well matched with the fitting curves of the dynamic damage constitutive model, meaning that this model could describe the dynamic mechanical properties of polypropylene concrete under different real-time high temperatures well.
