Optimization of Mix Proportion of Basalt-Polypropylene Fiber Concrete Based on Response Surface Methodology
摘要
This study investigated the synergistic effects of basalt fiber (BF) and polypropylene fiber (PF) on the mechanical performance of hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete. A Central Composite Design (CCD) was employed, with fiber volume content (0-0.4%) as the variable, and compressive and split tensile strengths as responses. Quadratic regression models based on Response Surface Methodology (RSM) showed high accuracy, with R2 values of 0.9744 and 0.9774, respectively. Analysis revealed that PF exhibited a greater main effect on compressive strength, while BF contributed more significantly to split tensile strength. A significant interaction between fibers was observed, with an optimal reinforcement range. Multi-objective optimization determined the optimal mix as 0.16% BF and 0.15% PF, achieving predicted strengths of 49.212 MPa (compressive) and 4.707 MPa (split tensile). The study confirms the effectiveness of RSM in optimizing hybrid fiber concrete mix proportions.
