Abstract: The mechanical properties of hybrid fiber reinforced cementious composites (HFRCC) can be better brought into play when steel fiber, domestic PVA fiber and Japanese Corari PVA fiber are prepared according to the appropriate proportion, which is beneficial to cost control and has a wide application prospect. The influences of steel fiber volume content, domestic PVA fiber on the replacement rate of Nissan PVA fiber (volume fraction, same below) on the tensile strength, compressive strength and bending strength of HFRCC were analyzed by factor optimization method and principal component analysis (PCA). Through the principal component analysis of HFRCC, the mathematical model of comprehensive performance evaluation was established, and the multi-objective optimization was carried out. The results show that the maximum increase of tensile strength, compressive strength and bending strength of HFRCC is 61.04%, 31.30% and 78.57% respectively. When the steel fiber content is 0.2%~0.4% and the domestic PVA fiber volume replacement rate is 50%~100%, the maximum cost reduction is 88.25%, and the HFRCC strength index can reach the best. The weight proportion of each factor affecting HFRCC performance is as follows: domestic PVA fiber content, Nissan PVA fiber content and bending strength account for 46.28%. The content, compressive strength and bending strength of steel fiber account for 25.58%. The content and tensile strength of steel fiber account for 22.25%. Combined with variable correlation analysis, these indicators should be focused on when performance optimization based on HFRCC. The results can provide a basis for the preparation of HFRCC.
