Uniaxial behavior of UHPC under cyclic compression: Experimental investigation and constitutive model
Abstract The compressive behavior of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is experimentally investigated in this paper for three different micro steel fiber volume fractions (V f = 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.0%) under uniaxial monotonic and cyclic compression. The cube specimens are loaded and fully unloaded twice per displacement increment to track the evolution of damage. Cycles are included till the peak load and after attaining the peak load, all the way till the load carrying capacity becomes marginal. A one dimensional (1D) elastoplastic damage constitutive model is proposed to simulate the damage of UHPC under uniaxial cyclic compression, incorporating the damage parameters within a damage function deduced from the tests. Damage is incorporated as a nonlinear function and thus the hysteresis behavior (distinguishable unloading and reloading paths) is adequately captured in the model. The experimental results from this study and the accompanying model demonstrate that the strength and stiffness degradation in UHPC due to low cycle fatigue stabilize at higher fiber dosage levels.
Highlights Strength degradation due to cyclic loading stabilizes at higher fiber dosage even at large strain cycles. Strength and stiffness degradation due to cyclic loading is marginal till attainment of peak load. Nonlinear damage variable proposed can accurately trace the unloading and reloading branches during cyclic loading.
