RESUMO
This paper addresses the results of an investigation on the influence of the Brazilian raw materials on the mechanical performance of Strain Hardening Cementitious Composites (SHCC). The mixtures were produced with variations of fly ash/cement and sand/cement proportions and with different maximum sand particle. Mechanical properties were evaluated by direct tension, bending and compression tests. Crack formation under direct tension and bending loads was also investigated. The results indicate that the use of high quantities of fly ash with low quantities of fine sand is the ideal combination to obtain strain hardening composites with tensile strain capacity superior to 3% using local materials. The increase in the sand content and particle size affects the behavior of the composites and tended to reduce the strain capacity of the specimens by up to 30%. Keeping constant the fly ash/cement and sand/cement rates it was found that the crack density and width measured under direct tension are only affected by the diameter of the sand for tensile strains in the range of 2%. The same general trends were observed for specimens submitted to compressive and bending loads.
