Abstract

Aiming at the background of the application of fracture mechanics in fiber recycled concrete as well as the shortcomings of the current research, the relevant results and progress are summarized from three aspects, namely, the basic theory of fracture mechanics of fiber recycled concrete and the research progress of the fracture properties of fiber recycled concrete as well as the testing methods of the fracture of fiber recycled concrete, respectively. The development history of the application of fracture mechanics in concrete is described, three fracture forms, fracture process zones and three softening curve models of concrete are introduced, and it is proposed to combine the bilinear softening curve and the virtual crack zone model to construct the ontological relationship of the whole process of concrete cracking. The current research status of recycled brick aggregate concrete and polypropylene coarse fiber concrete is introduced. The incorporation of recycled brick aggregate adversely affects the workability, basic mechanical properties and fracture properties of concrete. The reinforcing effect of polypropylene fibers on concrete can effectively improve the adverse effects of brick aggregate on concrete, which opens up the research prospect of green concrete and has high research value. The applications of three-point bending test, four-point bending test and DIC technique in the study of concrete fracture characteristics are introduced.
