Abstract:

In order to study the effect of recycled tyre polymer (RTP) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hybrid fibres on the dry‐shrinkage properties of engineered cementitious composite (ECC), the fluidity, direct tension and dry‐shrinkage tests of RTP‐PVA hybrid fibre reinforced ECC with a total volume fraction of 2.0% were carried out, and the mechanism and dry‐shrinkage calculation model of hybrid fibres were analyzed. The results show that RTP fibres replacement ratio of 12.5%~50% has minimal effect on the ECC fluidity, which is 1.09%~3.69% lower than that of single doped PVA fibres. The tensile strength of ECC decreases with the increase of RTP fibres replacement ratio to PVA fibres, the tensile strength of ECC with different proportions of hybrid fibres is 23.6% to 56.6% lower compared with that of single PVA fibres. The drying shrinkage rate curves of ECC with different proportions of hybrid fibres exhibit similar trends, and the drying shrinkage rate at 7 d is 80.92%~82.77% of that at 28 d. The drying shrinkage rate of ECC decreased with the increase of RTP fibres replacement ratio to PVA fibres, and the drying shrinkage rate of ECC with different proportions of hybrid fibres decreased by 0.80% to 2.09% compared with that of single PVA fibres at 28 d. RTP‐PVA hybrid fibres can play a synergistic role in inhibiting drying shrinkage of ECC. Combined with the experimental results, an index drying shrinkage prediction model suitable for RTP‐PVA hybrid fibre ECC is proposed.
