Experimental dataset on the residual performance of fiber-reinforced cementitious composite subjected to high temperature

The present dataset refers to the research article entitled "A multiscale investigation on the performance improvement of fiber-reinforced cementitious composites after exposure to high temperatures" [1] . Supplementary data on raw mate-rials characterization, temperature recording, mass loss, wa-ter absorption, compressive strength, flexural behavior, pull-out response, fiber-matrix interface, and surface, microstruc-ture and hardness of fibers are presented here. The contin-uous matrix was produced from cementitious grout contain-ing Portland cement, sand, silica fume, superplasticizer, and water. The heating was carried out in an electric oven up to 260 degrees C. The bending tests was performed for fiber-reinforced cementitious composite (FRCC) with steel fiber contents of 1%, 3%, and 5% by volume, and for non-fibrous matrix. The pull-out test was performed using single fiber embedded in the matrix. The water absorption and axial compression tests was performed for non-fibrous matrix. The fiber-matrix anal-ysis was performed from polished sections of fibers embed-ded in cementitious matrix. The fiber analysis was performed from steel fibers. The data refer to the residual properties af-ter heating and slow cooling or to the reference condition without heating. The data can help in understanding resid-ual performance of FRCC after exposure to high temperatures and may be useful for developing resilient building materials.(c) 2022 The Author(s).
