Abstract

In this study, the triaxial mechanical properties of hybrid steel fiber–reinforced self-compacting concrete (HSFRSCC) were investigated. Based on previous research, a mixture of HSFRSCC that satisfies the requirements of compression and workability performance was determined. Conventional triaxial compression tests were performed at confining pressures of 0, 4, 8, 12, and 16 MPa. The results showed that all the specimens had excellent deformation ability, and both the steel fibers and confining pressure improved the ductility of HSFRSCC. With an increase in the confining pressure, the triaxial peak stress and strain of concrete were increased. The differences in the damage characteristics of HSFRSCC and plain concrete were compared based on scanning electron microscopy test results. Finally, the applicability of the Mohr–Coulomb criterion with that of the Willam–Warnke (W–W) criteria to HSFRSCC was compared. the results showed that the nonlinear W–W criterion had a better fitting effect. Hence, the relationship between triaxial peak stress, peak strain, and confining pressure was established, and the triaxial compression meridian formula for HSFRSCC was obtained.
