Abstract

Inorganic polymer concrete (IPC) is a new building material, since it has abundant raw materials, inexpensive, and has little pollution to environment during its manufacturing process and needs little time to condense to high strength; these have caused the domestic and foreign material researchers of great interest. The flexural failure process of inorganic polymer concrete beam was studied based on the mechanical test, fractal analysis were done of the crack pictures getting during the test process were analyzed by using MATLAB program and the results show that: the crack development of inorganic polymer concrete beam under lode has fractal feature and box dimension can be a quantitative indicator of the crack condition; The relationship between box dimension and mechanical property of the beam is analyzed and the quantitative relation curves of them were fitted.
