Course Outline:
Introduction; historical background and current applications
Material Properties; fiber types, matrix types, characterization, mix design, properties of fresh mixtures
Tensile Response of Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites (FRCC); composite materials approach to modeling tension, cracking, post-cracking behavior, effect of fiber type and spacing
Bending Response of FRCC; cracked and uncracked behavior, computation of deflections, modulus of elasticity and toughness index
Compressive Response of FRCC; properties of hardened composite under compression
Bond; slip and pull-out of fibers in the composite
High Performance FRCC; characterization of high performance, regular versus high performance fiber reinforced cement composites
Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC); the effect of using aggregates in the composite on the mechanical properties
Structural Applications of FRCC; applications on plastic hinges, beam-to-column connections, structural walls, coupling beams, precast members and use for seismic repair and retrofit
Term Project Presentations
Grading:
Exams (60%): There will be two exams during the term, a midterm (25%) and a final (35%).
Term Project (40%): A research oriented report will be prepared by each student in an area related to the mechanical properties or structural applications of fiber reinforced cementitious composites. Your written report is to be less than 20 pages long (20%) and you will be asked to make a 15 mins. oral presentation to the class (20%).
