Abstract

High-strength and high-toughness are the development trend of cementitious materials in the field of civil construction and transportation. In this study, steel fibers and calcium carbonate whiskers are applied to strengthen cement-based materials at two scales, and the corresponding mechanical properties are investigated. It is found that the content of steel fibers can reach 12.2% when the infiltration casting method is adopted to prepare the slurry infiltrated fiber concrete (SIFCON). The ultimate strain of the specimen is greater than 0.08, which illustrates an ultra-high ductility. The results show that the optimum content of the CaCO₃ whisker is 1%. The toughening effect of combined steel fibers and calcium carbonate whiskers is better than that of using steel fibers individually. After adding calcium carbonate whiskers, the tensile and compressive properties of specimens are improved. Meanwhile, a nonlocal model of SIFCON is developed to quantify the influence of calcium carbonate whiskers on the performance of SIFCON.
