3.1. Composite Materials Theory
- (1)
- The concrete matrix and AR-glass fiber are both isotropic linear elastic materials.
- (2)
- The fibers stress direction and the distribution are parallel to the external tension load.
- (3)
- When tension deformation occurs in the concrete, the deformation is the same for the fiber and the concrete and no relative sliding or dislocation occurs. The stress of the concrete is shown in Figure 4.

5. Conclusions
- (1)
- Indoor flat tensile tests of AR-GFRC were conducted and the macro-crack failure modes of the plain concrete and AR-GFRC specimens were analyzed to determine the occurrence and development of cracks in the material. The peak strength of different types of concrete under standard curing was quantitatively analyzed to determine the influence of the fiber content on the tensile strength of the concrete. It was determined that the tensile strength and the peak strength were highest at a fiber content of 1%.
- (2)
- The composite material theory and Krajcinovic vector damage theory were applied to modify the equations related to the fiber discontinuity and elastic modulus. The Weibull distribution function was used to derive the equation of the elastic modulus of the fiber reinforced concrete composite and the statistical damage constitutive model of the AR-GFRC was developed. The statistical parameters of the model were determined using the numerical feature method.
- (3)
- The constitutive equation was validated based on the elastic modulus and the different fiber contents obtained from indoor uniaxial tensile tests. The validation results indicated a good fit of the theoretical and experimental results of the elastic undamaged stage and damage stage with a fitting degree larger than 0.93. Tensile test data of PP fibers made of similar materials were used to extend and validate the proposed constitutive model using the same validation method. The results showed a fitting degree larger than 0.92 for the theoretical and experimental stress–strain curve before the peak value. The statistical damage constitutive model of the AR-GFRC provides reference data and theoretical support to ensure the safety and stability of concrete structures.
