Summary of Test Method4.1 Molded round panels of cast fiber-reinforced concrete orfiber-reinforced shotcrete are subjected to a central point loadwhile supported on three symmetrically arranged pivots. Thel
11、oad is applied through a hemispherical-ended steel pistonadvanced at a prescribed rate of displacement. Load anddeflection are recorded simultaneously up to a specified centraldeflection. The energy absorbed by the panel up to a specifiedcentral deflection is representative of the flexural toughness
12、 ofthe fiber-reinforced concrete panel.5. Significance and Use5.1 The post-crack behavior of plate-like, fiber-reinforcedconcrete structural members is well represented by a centrallyloaded round panel test specimen that is simply supported onthree pivots symmetrically arranged around its circumfere
13、nce.Such a test panel experiences bi-axial bending in response to acentral point load and exhibits a mode of failure related to thein situ behavior of structures. The post-crack performance ofround panels subject to a central point load can be representedby the energy absorbed by the panel up to a s
14、pecified centraldeflection. In this test method, the energy absorbed up to aspecified central deflection is taken to represent the ability of afiber-reinforced concrete to redistribute stress following crack-ing.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C09 onConcrete and Concret

17、Barr Harbor Drive, PO Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959, United States.NOTE 1The use of three pivoted point supports in the test configura-tion results in determinate out-of-plane reactions prior to cracking,however the support reactions are indeterminate after cracking due to theunknown di
18、stribution of flexural resistance along each crack. There is alsoa change in the load resistance mechanism in the specimen as the testproceeds, starting with predominantly flexural resistance and progressingto tensile membrane action around the center as the imposed deflection isincreased. The energ
19、y absorbed up to a specified central deflection isrelated to the toughness of the material but is specific to this specimenconfiguration because it is also determined by the support conditions andsize of the specimen. Selection of the most appropriate central deflectionto specify depends on the inte
20、nded application for the material. The energyabsorbed up to 5 mm central deflection is applicable to situations in whichthe material is required to hold cracks tightly closed at low levels ofdeformation. Examples include final linings in underground civil struc-tures such as railway tunnels that may
21、 be required to remain water-tight.The energy absorbed up to 40 mm is more applicable to situations in thatthe material is expected to suffer severe deformation in situ (for example,shotcrete linings in mine tunnels and temporary linings in swellingground). Energy absorption up to intermediate value
22、s of central deflectioncan be specified in situations requiring performance at intermediate levelsof deformation.5.2 The motivation for use of a round panel with threesupports is based on the within-batch repeatability found inlaboratory3and field experience.4The consistency of thefailure mode that
23、arises through the use of three symmetricallyarranged support pivots results in low within-batch variabilityin the energy absorbed by a set of panels up to a specifiedcentral deflection. The use of round panels also eliminates thesawing that is required to prepare shotcrete beam specimens.5.3 The no
24、minal dimensions of the panel are 75 mm inthickness and 800 mm in diameter. Thickness has been shownto strongly influence panel performance in this test, whilevariations in diameter have been shown to exert a minorinfluence on performance.5Correction factors are provided toaccount for actual measure
25、d dimensions.NOTE 2The target dimensions of the panel specimen used in this testare held constant regardless of the characteristics of aggregate and fibersused in the concrete comprising the specimen. Post-crack performancemay be influenced by size and boundary effects if large aggregate particlesor
26、 long fibers are used in the concrete. These influences are acknowledgedand accepted in this test method because issues of size effect and fiberalignment arise in actual structures and no single test specimen cansuitably model structures of all sizes. Differences in post-crack behaviorexhibited in t
27、his test method can be expected relative to cast fiber-reinforced concrete members thicker than 100 mm. Because fiber align-ment is pronounced in structures produced by shotcreting, and themaximum aggregate size in shotcrete mixtures is typically 10 mm,post-crack behavior in specimens tested by this
28、 method are morerepresentative of in situ behavior when they are produced by sprayingrather than casting concrete.6. Apparatus6.1 Testing MachineA servo-controlled testing machineincorporating an electronic feed-back loop that uses the mea-sured deflection of either the specimen or the loading actua
29、torto control the motion of the actuator shall be used to producea controlled and constant rate of increase of deflection of thespecimen without the intervention of an operator. To avoidunstable behavior after cracking, the system stiffness of thetesting machine inclusive of load frame, load cell (i
30、f used), andsupport fixture shall exceed that of the specimen. The systemstiffness of the testing machine can be determined in accor-dance with the procedure described in Annex A1. Load-controlled test machines incorporating one-way hydraulicvalves or screw mechanisms lacking an electronic feed-back
31、loop for automatically controlling the rate of increase indisplacement shall not be used. The load-sensing device shallhave a resolution sufficient to record load to 650 N.NOTE 3Although it is commonly believed that servo-controlledsystems, incorporating a feed-back loop in which the measured centra
32、ldisplacement of the specimen is used to control the motion of the actuator,are capable of overcoming the disadvantages of a structurally complianttesting machine, this will depend on the speed and sensitivity of thefeed-back loop and the mechanical response rate of the loading apparatus.A more reli
33、able configuration comprises a servo-controlled actuator inwhich the measured displacement of the actuator is used in the feed-backloop to control the motion of the actuator combined with a high load trainstiffness. Experience has indicated that the redistribution of stress thatoccurs in fiber-reinf
34、orced concrete panels following cracking of theconcrete matrix generally results in stable post-crack behavior provided atesting machine complying with the requirements of this section is used.6.2 Support FixtureThe fixture supporting the panel dur-ing testing shall consist of any configuration that
35、 includes threesymmetrically arranged pivot points on a pitch circle diameterof 750 mm. The supports shall be capable of supporting a loadof up to 100 kN applied vertically at the center of the specimen.The supports shall be sufficiently rigid so that they do notdisplace in the radial direction by m
36、ore than 0.5 mm betweenthe onset of loading and 40 mm central deflection for a testinvolving a specimen displaying a peak load capacity of 100kN. The three supports must also not translate by more than 0.5mm in the circumferential direction during a test. The pivotsshall not restrict rotation of the
37、 panel fragments after cracking.The support fixture shall be configured so that the specimendoes not come into contact with any portion of the supportfixture apart from the three pivots during a test. A photographof a suggested design is shown in Fig. 1. The contact betweenthe specimen and each pivo
38、t shall comprise a steel transferplate with plan dimensions of approximately 40 3 50 mm witha spherical seat of about 4 mm depth machined into one surfaceto accept a ball pivot (see Fig. 2). The distance between thesurface of the panel and the center of the pivot shall be 20 62 mm. The diameter of t
39、he pivot ball shall be 16 6 2 mm.Grease is permitted to reduce friction in the seat of each pivot,but rollers or grease are not permitted to reduce frictionbetween the transfer plates and specimen.6.3 Deflection Measuring EquipmentDetermine the cen-tral deflection of the specimen relative to the sup

42、 LOAD-TRAIN COMPLIANCEA1.1 The compliance of the load train is the differencebetween the apparent compliance of the specimen whendeformation of the load train is included and the true compli-ance of the specimen.CLT5 Capp2 Cspec(A1.1)where:CLT= the compliance of the load train,Capp= the apparent com
43、pliance of the specimen inclusiveof load train deformation,Cspec= the true compliance of the specimen.Compliance shall be measured in units of mm/kN. The termCspeccan be determined by dividing the load, P, to cause agiven central deflection into the corresponding deflection,Dspec, measured so as to
44、exclude deformations of the load trainand corrected for crushing of concrete. Hence,Cspec5Dspec/ P (A1.2)The term Cappis determined in a similar manner, but thecentral deflection, Dapp, arising from the load, P, shall includethe deformation of the load train.The use of a large number of data points
45、to determine thecompliances Cappand Cspecis more accurate than the use of asingle pair of points. Hence, the inverse of the slope of a linefitted through the straight portion of the load-deflection recordprior to cracking is the apparent compliance of the specimenand load train, Capp. The inverse of
