Stress–strain behavior and constitutive relation of rubberized plastic concrete under uniaxial and triaxial compression

Abstract

AbstractPlastic concrete is a kind of flexible concrete cutoff wall material, which is used to solve the problem of poor coordinated deformation ability between ordinary concrete cutoff wall and surrounding soil. It has the characteristics of small elastic modulus and large limit strain, which greatly improves the operation condition of cutoff wall. In order to save bentonite resources and recycle waste automobile tires, this paper crushed waste automobile tires into rubber particles and mixed them into plastic concrete, through the uniaxial compression test and triaxial compression test, obtained the corresponding stress–strain curve, rubberized plastic concrete strength and deformation properties are studied and the rubber particles and the relationship between dosage. The test results show that the compressive strength of rubberized plastic concrete decreases with the increase of rubber particles content, but the deformation capacity increases with the increase of rubber particles content. In this paper, the regression analysis of rubberized plastic concrete constitutive relation and failure criterion including the influence factor of rubber particles are helpful to promote the engineering application of rubberized plastic concrete and reduce the exploitation of natural resources and environmental pollution.
