文摘Studies on coral aggregate concrete(CAC)mainly focus on uniaxial stress conditions.However,concrete structures often experience complex stress conditions in practical engineering.It is essential to investigate the mechanical behavior and failure mechanisms of CAC under multiaxial stress conditions.This paper employs a 3D mesoscale model that considers the actual size,shape,and spatial distribution of aggregates.The reliability of the model and material parameters is verified through comparison with existing experimental data.Subsequently,the model is used to systematically study the mechanical properties,failure modes,and failure processes of C40 CAC under the biaxial compression.The numerical results are compared with the experimental results of CAC and ordinary portland concrete(OPC).The results indicate that the failure modes of CAC under the biaxial compression are diagonal shear failure.The biaxial compressive strength and elastic modulus of CAC are greater than those under uniaxial stress and exhibit a significant intermediate principal stress effect.The biaxial compressive strength reaches its maximum value when the stress ratio is 0.5,which is consistent with the conclusions for OPC.Finally,failure criteria and strength envelopes for CAC under the biaxial compression are established in order to provide a reference for analyzing the strength characteristics and structural design of CAC.
文摘以环渤海湾海洋工程混凝土结构耐久性作为研究对象,根据多年来积累的实验室、海洋暴露站和工程实测数据,采用ChaDuraLife V1.0混凝土结构寿命预测模型与计算机软件,分析不同矿物掺合料掺量、水胶比对海洋混凝土结构服役寿命的影响规律.结果表明:降低水胶比,提高粉煤灰掺量和磨细矿渣掺量都能有效延长海洋混凝土结构的预期服役寿命.以环渤海湾海洋浪溅区混凝土结构为例,最长服役寿命所对应的海洋混凝土配合比最优参数是:粉煤灰和磨细矿渣掺量分别为20%、40%,水胶比为0.30,混凝土结构满足100、200、500 a寿命所需最小保护层厚度分别为60、75、120 mm.
