Abstract
The direct tensile responses of macro aramid fibers reinforced cementitious composites (AR-FRCCs) as well as textile reinforced cementitious composites with 3D spacer fabric (3D-TRCCs) were investigated at high strain rates. As strain rate increased from static (0.000333â¯sâ1) to high strain rates (up to 194â¯sâ1), the tensile strength of AR-FRCCs considerably increased from 3.49 to 15.82â¯MPa. However, their rate sensitivities were different corresponding to fiber contents and matrix strength. The AR-FRCCs with higher fiber content clearly produced lower rate sensitivity while the AR-FRCCs with high strength (63.6 or 99.6â¯MPa) matrices generally produced higher rate sensitivities on their tensile resistance than those with a lower strength (43.7â¯MPa) matrix. Even though the 3D-TRCCs produced higher energy absorption capacity than the AR-FRCCs, the energy absorption capacity of 3D-TRCCs clearly decreased at strain rates greater than 100â¯sâ1.
