Abstract
With the rapid development of the national economy, the tunnel engineering has entered a new stage of construction and maintenance, and the tunnel has ushered in a critical period of reinforcement and restoration. As a new type of green repair material for tunnel lining concrete, hybrid fiber reinforced alkali-activated concrete (HFAAC) can better exert the reinforcing and modifying effects of fibers on repair materials compared with the single fiber reinforced alkali-activated concrete. This study explored the bonding behavior of the interface between HFAAC and cement-based tunnel lining concrete (TLC) through the high-speed camera and acoustic emission (AE) technologies. The experimental design included variables such as interface roughness (I: untreated surface, RaI = 0 mm; II: surface of the steel brush bristles, RaII = 0.45 mm; III: deeply roughened surface, RaIII = 2.21 mm; and IV: natural splitting surface, RaIV = 8.10 m) and volume fractions of PVA fiber in HFAAC (0 %, 0.3 %, 0.6 %, 0.9 %, and 1.2 %). The loading rate was set at 0.1 mm/min, and the shear specimens were cured for 28 days. Further, a shear bonding mechanical model of the interface between HFAAC and TLC was established. Based on 3D scanning system and fractal theory, the three-dimensional morphological parameters of the bonding interface and the relationship between the fractal dimension and the interface roughness were evaluated. The test results display that the shear bonding strength between HFAAC and TLC ranges from 2.22 to 3.46 MPa, and the interface roughness has the most significant effect on the bonding performance. The shear bonding mechanical model is in good agreement with the experimental values (all within ). Furthermore, the interface roughness is closely related to fractal dimension. When the roughness is not more than 2.21 mm, increasing the interface roughness can effectively improve the interfacial bonding performance between HFAAC and TLC, and it can provide certain engineering guidance for the application of tunnel lining structures.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cleaner Production is an international, transdisciplinary journal that addresses and discusses theoretical and practical Cleaner Production, Environmental, and Sustainability issues. It aims to help societies become more sustainable by focusing on the concept of 'Cleaner Production', which aims at preventing waste production and increasing efficiencies in energy, water, resources, and human capital use. The journal serves as a platform for corporations, governments, education institutions, regions, and societies to engage in discussions and research related to Cleaner Production, environmental, and sustainability practices.
