Abstract
Knowledge of the mechanisms controlling crack formation, propagation
and failure of FRCC under shear loading is currently limited. This paper presents a
study that utilized photogrammetry to monitor the shear deformations of two
FRCC materials and ordinary concrete (OC). Multiple shear cracks and strain
hardening of both FRCC materials was observed under shear loading. The influence
of fibers, fiber type, including polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polypropylene
(PP) fibers, and shear crack angle were investigated. Based upon photogrammetric
results, fundamental descriptions of shear crack opening/sliding and subsequent
failure are presented.
