Research on the True Triaxial Mechanical Properties of Concrete under the Coupling Action of High Temperature and Biaxial Unequal Lateral Pressure.

Abstract

Based on engineering practice and practical needs, this paper takes ordinary concrete specimens as the research object, and adopts a high-temperature true triaxial loading test system to carry out high-temperature uniaxial and true triaxial static compression tests of concrete under high-temperature conditions. By comparing with normal temperature conditions, this paper analyzes the influence of the coupling effect of high-temperature and biaxial unequal lateral pressure on the static mechanical properties of concrete. By analyzing the experimental data, we reached a series of conclusions and carried out theoretical research on this basis. High temperatures can significantly affect the uniaxial static pressure strength characteristics, deformation characteristics, and failure mode of concrete. When the temperature exceeds 400 °C, the compressive strength decreases significantly, the peak strain increases sharply, and the plasticity of concrete is further enhanced. The coupling effect of high-temperature deterioration and lateral pressure strengthening makes the true triaxial mechanical properties of concrete change significantly; 0.6:0.2 and 400 °C are the turning points of side pressure ratio and temperature that affect the change law of the true triaxial mechanical properties of concrete, respectively. Based on the study of the high-temperature deterioration factor and lateral pressure strengthening factor, this paper further puts forward a concrete strength formula under the coupling action of high temperature and biaxial unequal lateral pressure. It was verified that the formula has a high accuracy.
