Abstract

Modified micromechanical bridging model is established with consideration of the fiber rupture effect at debonding and slipping stages. The bridging model includes the debonding and slipping rupture of fibers and establishes the fiber/matrix interfacial parameters (friction τ 0 , chemical bonding force G d , slip-hardening coefficient β ). A different interfacial bonding can cause fiber rupture. The influence of the interfacial conditions on the fiber rupture risk was investigated. In the modified bridging model, the effective bridging stress, the debonding rupture stress, and the slipping rupture stress were clearly identified. Finally, single-fiber pullout tests with different embedded lengths were carried out to validate the bridging model. The relationship between the fiber bridging stress and the crack opening predicted by the bridging model was consistent with the experimental results. This modified micromechanical bridging model can be used to quantitatively calculate the actual fiber bridging capacity and to predict the ductility of the high ductility cementitious composites reinforced by different types of fibers.
