Abstract
In recent years, high-ductility concrete (HDC) has gradually become popular in the construction industry because of its excellent ductility and crack resistance. Concrete itself is a kind of building material with poor tensile properties, and it is necessary to add a large number of steel bars to improve its tensile properties, which increases the construction cost of buildings. However, most of the research studies on high-ductility concrete are scattered. In this paper, the basic mechanical properties of high-ductility concrete and the effects of dry and wet cycles, freeze-thaw cycles, and salt erosion on the durability of high-ductility concrete are obtained by comprehensive analysis. The results show that the tensile properties of HDC can be significantly improved by adding appropriate fiber. When the volume fraction of steel fiber is 2.0%, the splitting tensile strength of concrete is increased by 98.3%. The crack width threshold of concrete chloride erosion is 55-80 μm, and when the crack width threshold is exceeded, the diffusion of CL-1 will be accelerated, and the HDC can control the crack within the threshold, thereby improving the durability of the concrete. Finally, the current research status of high-ductility concrete is analyzed, and the future development of high-ductility concrete is proposed.
