1.Introduction:
1.1.Objectives and scope
The objective of this experiment is to investigate the properties of a fibre reinforced
high strength concrete (FRHSC) at varying high strain rates that are between
80-300s-1. The FRHSC is of strength 80-90MPa. The fibres used are a combination of
Steel and Polyethylene of which ratio of its volume to concrete is 0.375% and 0.125%
respectively. A Split Hopkinson Pressure bar (SHPB) is used to deliver the high strain
rate to the material. Failure patterns of the samples as well as the compressive
strength!, critical strain
!and Youngs modulus from SHPB tests will be
investigated and discussed. The later three properties will be used hopefully as a
means to acquire a Dynamic increase factor (DIF) relationship. DIF is a factor used to
express the increase in the physical property of the concrete when subjected to high
strain rate with respect to quasi-static loading.
The SHPB test however has limitations that need to be acknowledged. Firstly, for a
consistent and apt material characterization, it is desired to achieve constant strain rate
and dynamic stress equilibrium within the specimen)(Chen & Song, 2011). These
properties are not easily achieved. Other problems include the fact that the Hopkinson
bar is assumed to be 1-dimensional when in reality is not which results in dispersion.
Experimental errors such as having gaps between the specimen and the SHPB bar that
are hard to eliminate are also causes for concern. As shown briefly, there are

complexities involved in SHPB test and therefore deduction of results obtained from
experiment has to be analysed with these factors in mind. Therefore in this
dissertation, the different methods proposed by various academicians will be also
explored and reviewed.
1.2. Background
1.2.1. Fibre reinforced concrete (FRC)
More information about the FRC is in the appendix section
1.2.2. Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB)
The SHPB set up is as shown. A gas tank on the right fires a projectile 0.5m long that
impacts the input bar producing a strain wave. The strain wave is then measured by
the strain gauges positioned in the middle of the input and output bar that are both 5m
long. The wave initiated at the input bar is called the incident wave !() and the
wave that is transmitted through the specimen and into the output bar is called the
transmitted wave!(). The wave that is reflected at the input bar and specimeninterface is called the reflected wave!(). These 3 time-dependent waves are used tocalculate the strain rate and stress experienced by the specimen.
The 2 approaches used to calculate them using this theory are the 1-wave and 3-wave
equations. They will not be covered in depth in this report but in short 1-wave
equation uses !() and !() to calculate strain rate and stress respectively while the

3-wave equation uses all 3 types of strains to calculate stress and strain
rate! , !() and !().
There are a number of assumptions taken when using the SHPB but due to the
limitation in length of report, it is placed in the appendix section.

The mix design is as shown in the tables above. The water to cement (w/c) ratio is
0.35 and the fiber content is 0.5% by volume of which 0.375% is SF and 0.125% is
PE. Superplasticizer is added to improve the workability of the mix. The Vebe time is
7 seconds for this mix.
The fibers used are steel and polyethylene both of which are approximately the same
length however the aspect ratio of PE is much higher than that of SF. The tensile
strength of PE is approximately the same as SF but the modulus of SF is almost 4
times as high as that of PE.

2.2. Results
2.2.1. Static test results
Cylinders of length to diameter ratio of 2 and of diameter 100mm were used to
determine Poisson ratiowhile compressive strengthfyand Youngs modulusE
were determined from the SHPB specimens with length 38mm and diameter 75mm.
Linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) is used to measure bulk deformation,
which is then used to determine the shape of the curve after failure of specimen while
strain gauge used measures value local deformation in the middle of specimen pre-
failure shape of curve andE.

Figure 5 Strain measured with time as measured at the middle of the input and out put bar after impact
This is a time dependent strain gauge response for a specimen subjected to a 31 bars
of pressure, which corresponds to approximately 13.5ms-1 striker speed("NUS RD-
SHPB 0501 user manual," 2006). Only the first 3 waves of are used.
Figure 6 Strain waves after shifting
The strain waves at the specimen bar-interface (which is used to input into the
equations) are assumed to be the same after propagation to the centre of the input and
output bar where the strain gauges are. Therefore the waves are shifted using the

speed of the wave and the length travelled by the wave to find the strains experienced
by the specimen. Theoretically speaking the period of the incident, reflected and
transmitted wave ought to be the same but it can be hypothesized due to energy loss
in cracking up, wave reverberations in specimen, imperfect contact surface between
the bar and specimen as well as other factors that it has resulted in shorter period in
the transmitted wave.
The stress strain curve has many oscillations instead of a smooth curve due to reason as
discussed earlier. The 3-wave theory shows a more erroneous result as can be seen that
the stress pulse, which is supposed to be compressive, peaks with a tensile stress of
almost 60MPa. This cannot be right, as the strain incident pulse is negative and therefore
cannot possibly generate a tensile pulse. The reason for this is will be elaborated bellow.

The dynamic strength is taken from the peak of the curve.
Figure8Stress/ Strain rate vs Time curves applying 1-wave equation
The strain rate against time experienced by the specimen is shown to be constantly
changing and since there is a need to specify a strain rate for each test, a general guide
is employed by Wang to use the average value of strain rate experienced by the
specimen in the time between the 80% values of the stress of the specimen (as shown
above)(Wang, 2011). This portion of the strain rate curve comes after the highest
peak of strain rate during which the stress has yet to rise and is more consistent. This
high peak is unreliable due to experimental limitations as mentioned before and hence
should not be considered.
Both 1-wave and 3-wave theory shows a delay in rise time of the stress wave as
compared to the strain rate (the 3-wave theory differs only by going negative before
rising). This is due to the delay in transmitted strain !() as observed in the Strain vs.
Time curve as both methods use !() to calculate stress. Therefore the initial portion
of the curve should not be considered for both methods. More experiments have to be

conducted to evaluate further the reason for this significant delay but for now it is
hypothesized that it is an experimental error mainly due to the specimen-bar interface.
The data collected for this specimen is summarized below.

The pulses observed for a setup using pulse shaper is seen to comparatively much
lesser oscillations (noise) as compared to Figure 6. This is due to absorption of high
frequency components of the wave. The rise up time of the incident pulse is also
delayed which helps the specimen to achieve stress equilibrium before failure as well
as reduce inertia effects(Parry, Walker, & Dixon, 1995).

Courseforfuture:
2.3.Investigation in the limitation of SHPB
With the limitations of SHPB in mind, more effort will be put into evaluating which
portion of the stress-strain curve is useful, how to evaluate the strain-rate of the
material (which is not universally established) and also if the Youngs Ecan actually
be used from dynamic tests (debatable in literature if it is of any use (Gama,
Lopatnikov, & Gillespie, 2004)).
The transmitted wave as shown is a cause of problem in determining the strain-rate as
well as the stress versus strain curve. As of now, the deviance in results obtained is
predicted to be due to the experimental error but more investigation has to be done in
that respect. If experimental error cannot be eliminated time shifting may not be the
best approach in getting start of pulse and other methods should be employed such as
the high accuracy forward finite-divided difference formula (discussed in the
appendix)
2.4.Investigation of the failure mode of the specimen.
Failure mode of the concrete matrix has not been discussed much in the report but it
can be of useful information. It can tell at high strain rate if the matrix fails due to
fiber pull out or fracture which will better inform the user on the geometrical
properties to consider for future mixes. Therefore surface of the specimen will be
looked at and investigated further

Appendix
A1 Fibre-reinforced concrete
Concrete is a brittle material with very little ductility and toughness. That is to say
that ordinary concrete cannot take much stress after the maximum is reached. With
fibres in the concrete matrix, the concrete is able to achieve much higher post
cracking ductility and toughness. One must note that the main purpose of fibres is not
to increase ultimate strength of the concrete (which will be more economically done
by adjusting w/c ratio and adding admixtures such as silica fume) (Papworth, 1997).
The main role of the fibres is controlling cracking of concrete matrix allowing the
concrete mass to be able to withstand significant stresses over relatively large strain
capacity in the strain-softening stage (Mindess, 2003). Another important fact to note
is that concrete is a strain-rate dependent material(Soroushian & Obaseki, 1986).
Studies have shown that concrete subjected to higher strain rates tend to have higher
strength and Youngs modulus(Wang, Zhang, & Quek, 2012).
A2 Steel and Polyethylene fibers
There are different kinds of fibres that can be used. The most common of which is
steel fibers (SF) which has been used for many years of which its known advantages
are high modulus of elasticityE, high strengthfy , relatively higher bonding with the
matrix than other fibers resulting in increase in post cracking strength and therefore
toughness to the matrix. All these help to minimise cracking due to changes in
temperature and relative humidity and also increase its resistance against dynamic
loading (A. Benturt & Mindess, 2007). The disadvantage of SF is that they have the
common problem of balling which would reduce the workability of the fresh concrete
and uniformity in distribution of the fiber. This is further aggravated when higher
bond is desired (for smooth steel fiber) and so higher aspect ratio of the fiber is
-

15/23
15
employed to increase the surface area in contact. However higher aspect ratio and
higher ratio in volume of fiber promote the occurrence of balling(A. Benturt &
Mindess, 2007).
Polymeric fibres have also become more and more common with different kinds
being designed to serve different purposes. Polyethylene (PE), a polymer fiber is
known to be able to control plastic shrinkage cracking well. Other notable advantages
of it include their alkali resistance and low price(A. Benturt & Mindess, 2007). In
addition, supplementing of PE as proven by Benturt (et. al ?) that while it only had a
small effect on the toughness in static loading, it had a much bigger influence on the
ductility in impact. Also, the addition of these fibers to (A. Benturt, Banthia, &
Mindess, 1986) high strength concrete(HSC) yielded much better results in terms of
toughness during impact testing as compared to normal strength concrete and
therefore would be more efficient when applied to HSC.
Having a hybrid in the mix is also an option. If employed effectively, it aims to utilize
the advantageous properties of both fibers as well as to make the concrete mix more
economical and thereby attaining synergy. Synergy is the term used to describe
fibers that work together in a combination to provide performance exceeding that of
individual fibers(Al Hazmi, Al Hazmi, Shubaili, & Sallam, 2012).
As concluded by Hazmi through testing, high strength concrete with the hybrid of SF
and polypropylene (PP) showed the superior compressive strength, tensile strength
and flexural toughness over SF and PP acting alone. The reason could be that during
hardened stage, SF being stiffer provides first crack strength, while PP having lower E
-

16
provides the improved toughness and strain capacity in the post crack zone(Al Hazmi
et al., 2012).
A3 Assumptions with SHPB
The SHPB is used to deliver high strain rate to specimens in the order of 50s -1 to 104s-
1(Gama et al., 2004). The fundamental assumptions when using 1 dimensional wave
theory to calculate stress and strain of specimen are as follows:
i. Material of bar remains linear elastic when loaded with stress pulsesii. Neutral axis is straight
iii. Axial stress distribution is uniform across the cross sectioniv. System of bars are linear and dispersion freev. Stress equilibrium of specimen assumed and inertia effects ignored
vi.
Bar-specimen interface imperfection ignored
i. Material of bar remains linear elastic
This condition is satisfied as the stress pulse required for the experiment is much less
than the elastic limit of the bar.
ii. Neutral axis is straight
The bars are as straight as it can possibly be made and error with respect to that is
insignificant. However the specimen in contact with the bar may not be perfectly flat
against the bar and is a cause for concern as will be touched on in point 4.
iii. Axial stress distribution is uniform across the cross section
This assumption is important as strain gauges that measure the strains are placed at
the surface of the bars and if the axial stress distribution is not uniform across the
-
7/30/2019 Investigating high strain rate effect on FRHSC of Steel and Polyethelene
17/23
17
cross-section then the result obtained is greatly flawed. For strains recorded in the
middle of the bar, this assumption is valid. However this assumption is not so valid at
the bar ends as shown by Wang (2007). The figure shows near the bar end, the stress
in the middle is higher by about 15% than the stress on the surface. This indicates that
the stress experienced by the specimen at the bar end is not completely uniform.
Figure 13 Axial stress distribution over the cross section 0.5D frombar end (Reproduced from Wang (2007))
iv. System of bars are linear and dispersion freeWhen the striker hits the input bar, stress pulses of varying frequencies are generated
due to the two dimensional nature of wave propagation; contrary to the assumption of
1D wave propagation (waves travel at a constant speed c = E/. Pulses of higher
frequencies travel slower than those of lower frequencies that results in the
undesirable phenomena known as wave dispersion. Wave dispersion is reflected in
the noise (oscillation of the wave) observed in the data.

Figure 14 Wave dispersion (reference?)
This graph shows the incident and reflected pulse after the pulse wave generated by
the striker propagates from the strain gauge to the free end of the incident bar and
back. Since the same strain gauge is used to measure the pulses, any difference in
shape of pulse is not caused by the fault of the recording system. From the
comparison of both pulses it is can be concluded that due to the difference in speed of
waves, the reflected wave gets more distorted with distance travelled and hence the
difference in shape from the incident pulse.
This can be corrected using Fourier Transform(Follansbee & Frantz, 1983) or by
using a softer object placed between the input bar and the striker which acts as a pulse
shaper. The pulse shaper helps to absorb high frequency components of the wave
resulting in a pulse with lesser noise (can be seen in the Results section where a
smoother curve is obtained).
v. Stress equilibrium of specimen assumed and inertia effect ignoredStress equilibrium is achieved not instantaneously but after a certain number of
reverberations within the specimen. It is proposed by Davies that the number is
-
7/30/2019 Investigating high strain rate effect on FRHSC of Steel and Polyethelene
19/23
19
-times(Gama et al., 2004). It is important that the specimen be able to reach stress
uniformity before failure in order to obtain useful data.
Inertia effect gets more pronounced when the specimen size gets longer in length in
the axial direction. A thinner specimen will also allow for a shorter time for specimen
to reach equilibrium (due to the shorter distance travelled by wave). It is
recommended by Davies and Hunter that the optimum Length/ Diameter ratio is
approximately 0.43 and since specimen used in this experiment has a ratio of 0.5,
inertia effect can be an issue. The specimen length cannot be reduced too much due to
requirements by the code to meet the minimum dimensions that is affected by the
maximum aggregate size. Reducing the specimen length too much will result in
failure to record the bulk property of the concrete matrix.
vi. Bar-specimen interface imperfection ignoredThere is an uncertainty as the stress wave propagates from the incident bar to the
specimen and then towards the transmission bar. The impedanceIin 1-D stress wave
theory is defined as the ratio of the force applied to the point mass to the velocity of
the point mass and theoretically it is purely influenced by density , areaA and wave
velocity c.
=cA
1-D theory goes on to show that when there is an impedance mismatch, part of the
stress wave will not be transmitted but be reflected. M. A. Kaiser proposed a
coefficient to represent this ratio introducing as the transmission coefficient,
=!
!
-

20/23
20
Based on energy conservation, wave that is not transmitted is reflected at any given
boundary. Based on the specimen and bar properties our transmission coefficient is
as such (subscripts 12 and 23 represent incident bar-specimen interface and specimen-
output bar interface):
This show that only 20% of the incident wave that reaches the specimen would be
transmitted and 75% of that transmitted wave will be transmitted to the output bar.
This means that the remaining 25% of the wave within the specimen is reflected back
into the specimen. Part of this portion of the wave is trapped within the specimen
and will eventually die off after a period known as the stress bleed-off period. The
phenomenon of bleed-off contributes to the noise of the strain recorded.
In determining the start of the dynamic stress-strain curve, the start of the pulse
should be identified properly. Currently the method employed is time-based meaning
the start of the strain pulse is based on the shifting of the reflected and the transmitted
pulse using the velocity of the wave though the bar and then through the specimen.
There are 2 problems with this approach. Firstly the velocity of the wave through
specimen is very rough estimate due to its high anisotropic nature and secondly there
is a high degree of uncertainty of the time for wave propagation at the specimen-bar
interface known as the transit time (which is completely ignored in our 1-D wave
theory). This uncertainty is due to the gap between specimen and the bar due to the
finishing of the specimen not being completely smooth and also the concrete
specimen having small holes that if not filled with grease is filled with air. Both air

and grease introduces uncertainties to the experiment and negatively affect the strain
pulse recorded when using time to determine the start of pulse.
Kaiser proposes a mathematical solution as an alternative to the identification of the
start of the pulse, which is not dependent on time. For a perfect strain history, the
strain rate leading up to the pulse edge should be zero. Since the measured strain,
though close to zero is never zero due to noise, this algorithm searches for a number
of consecutive derivatives of the same sign and there is not change then the start of
the pulse is determined. This numerical derivative algorithm is as follows
! ! = !!! + 4 !!! 3 !
2
Where i is the index referring to the data point and h is the sample rate of the signal.
This method though currently not employed here can be considered to deal with
uncertainty for the initial portion of the strains recorded in this experiment(Kaiser,
Wilson, Wicks, & Swantek, 2000) .
