Abstract

Abstract: In this paper, the radial deformation of fiber reinforced self‐compacting concrete (SCC) pipes under cyclic fire conditions is studied. A series of experimental study on the temperature fields and radial deformation properties of steel mesh, polypropylene fiber (PP fiber), and macro steel fiber (SF) reinforced SCC pipes subjected to fire is carried out. A novel method for measuring the deformation of pipes under high temperature has been proposed. The results indicate that both micro PP fiber and macro SF are effective in decreasing the temperature difference and reducing the radial deformation in each thermal cycle. A significant positive synergistic effect on decreasing the residual radial deformation can be achieved by combined use of macro SF and micro PP fiber. The elastic theory is used to estimate the elastic portion in the total radial deformation, and the elastic radial deformation is about 22.3% of the maximum radial deformation in the first thermal cycle. Based on the elastic calculation and observed experimental results, a simplified method for estimating the maximum radial deformation in the first thermal cycle is proposed.
