Abstract

The use of fibres in High Performance Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composites (HPFRCC ) is often justified because of the improvement of impact and blast resistance due to the increased energy absorption. The mechanical behavior of HPFRCC when subjected to high temperature and/or impulsive load, conditions which characterize blast scenario, has still many aspects which need to be investigated. In order to investigate the influence of high temperatures on dynamic response of HPFRCC an experimental program on cylindrical specimens has been planned. Static and dynamic tensile tests on notched samples were performed after thermal cycles up to three different thermal thresholds (200, 400 and 600°C). A total number of 36 specimens (3 samples x 3 strain rates x 4 temperature) were tested: they provide a valuable data base to assess the combined effects of high temperature and strain rate
