A Constitutive Model of High-Early-Strength Cement with Perlite Powder as a Thermal-Insulating Material Confined by Caron Fiber Reinforced Plastics at Elevated Temperatures

摘要

A parabolic stress–strain constitutive model for inorganic thermal-insulating material confined by carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) exposed to a surrounding elevated temperature was proposed in this paper. The thermal-insulating material used in this study was composed of high-early-strength cement (HESC) and perlite powder. The compression strengths of four kinds of perlite powder composition ratios of thermal-insulating materials cylindrical specimens which were confined by one, two, and three-layer CFRP composite materials were acquired. The experimental results showed that the compression strength was enhanced as the amount of perlite substitute decreased or as the number of CFRP wrapping layers increased. The Mohr–Columb failure criteria were adopted to predict the maximum compressive strength of CFRP-confined inorganic thermal-insulating material. The strain at the maximum compressive strength was found from the experimental results, and the corresponding axial strain at the maximum compressive strength in the constitutive model was determined from the regression analysis. Furthermore, the compressive strengths of the four different perlite composites of thermal-insulating materials were obtained when heating the specimens from ambient temperature to 300 °C. The compressive strength decreased with an increase in temperature, and a thermal softening parameter model was proposed; the thermal softening parameter was determined from the experimental maximum compressive strength at an elevated temperature. Combining the above two models, the constitutive model of HESC with perlite powder additive as a thermal-insulating material confined by CFRP under elevated temperature was proposed.
