Abstract
Impact tests on post-fire concrete confined by Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer/Plastic (CFRP) sheets were carried out by using Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) experimental setup in this paper, with emphasis on the effect of exposed temperatures, CFRP layers and impact velocities. Firstly, according to the measured stress-strain curves, the effects of experiment parameters on concrete dynamic mechanical performance such as compressive strength, ultimate strain and energy absorption are discussed in details. Additionally, temperature caused a softening effect on the compressive strength of concrete specimens, while CFRP confinement and strain rate play a hardening effect, which can lead to the increase in dynamic compressive strength by 1.8 to 3.6 times compared to static conditions. However, their hardening mechanisms and action stages are extremely different. Finally, nine widely accepted Dynamic Increase Factor (DIF) models considering strain rate effect were summarized, and a simplified model evaluating dynamic compressive strength of post-fire concrete confined by CFRP sheets was proposed, which can provide evidence for engineering emergency repair after fire accidents.
