TL;DR
This study explores how replacing natural aggregates with modified BOFS concrete and adding carbon fibers affects mechanical performance under various loading conditions.
Contribution
The novel use of modified BOFS concrete with heat-treated carbon fibers under dynamic and quasi-static conditions is investigated.
Findings
Replacing natural aggregates with MBOFS improved compressive, flexural, and splitting tensile strength.
Adding 1% chopped carbon fibers enhanced mechanical performance, with 12 mm fibers improving impact resistance.
Dynamic strength increased with strain rate and gas pressure in RSHPB tests for 6 mm carbon fiber specimens.
Abstract
This study examines the mechanical properties of concrete in which natural aggregates are entirely replaced by modified basic oxygen furnace slag (MBOFS) and reinforced with chopped carbon fibers, under both dynamic and quasi-static loading conditions. The carbon fiber (CF) was subjected to heat treatment and pneumatic dispersion prior to mixing, and its performance was validated using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and single-fiber tensile tests. The experimental program included tests on workability, compressive strength, flexural strength, splitting tensile strength, impact resistance, and high strain rate behavior using the reverse split Hopkinson pressure bar (RSHPB) method. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) confirmed that heat treatment removed surface sizing from carbon fibers (CF) with minimal effect on tensile strength. Replacing natural…
