Triaxial Compressive Behavior of Two Types of Concrete with Curing Conditions of Construction Site

Abstract

Based on an extensive experimental program under uniaxial and triaxial compression, this paper studies the mechanical behavior of two types of concrete with the same raw materials and the same curing conditions of the construction site. Stress-strain relations and strengths are obtained under triaxial compression with confining pressures from 10MPa to 120MPa. Material constants of different types of failure criterion are determined by the statistical method with the data from this study and public literature, including linear Mohr-Coulomb model, parabolic Willam-Warnke failure criterion and power functional Johnson-Holmquist model. The results indicate that the modulus of both types of concrete decrease as an exponential decay law with the increase of confining pressures in triaxial compression.
