Effect of fiber content on mechanical performance and cracking characteristics of ultra-high-performance seawater sea-sand concrete (UHP-SSC)

Bo-Tao Huang et al.

Summary: This study developed a new type of ultra-high-performance seawater sea-sand concrete (UHP-SSC) by using ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene fibers to address the challenges of sustainable marine and coastal construction. Experimental results showed that increasing fiber content in UHP-SSC significantly improved tensile strength and strain capacity while slightly decreasing compressive strength. A probabilistic model was successfully used to estimate the allowed tensile strain of UHP-SSC based on crack width and cumulative probability in practical applications.
