Abstract
The chemical debonding energy, initial interfacial frictional bond strength and slip-hardening coefficient between polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibres and an engineered cementitious composite (ECC) matrix were obtained by means of single PVA fibre pull-out tests. The effect of three moisture states (fully saturated, semi-saturated and fully dry) on the bonding properties between the PVA fibre and ECC matrix at three target temperatures (25°C, 0°C and −20°C) was investigated. It was found that, at 25°C, the bonding properties decreased with an increase in moisture content. At 0°C and −20°C, the bonding properties increased with an increase in moisture content. At −20°C in the fully saturated state, the bonding load was too large to cause fibre rupture. The bonding properties were found to increase with decreasing temperature in the fully saturated and semi-saturated states and decrease with decreasing temperature in the fully dry state. This study of the effect of low temperature and moisture state on the bonding properties between PVA fibres and ECCs provides theoretical support for how to ensure good ductility when ECCs are in service at low temperature.
