Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of concrete mechanics, and in particular to a method, apparatus and storage medium for determining the multiaxial strength of freeze-thaw concrete. Background Technology

[0002] Concrete often suffers freeze-thaw damage during service in cold regions such as polar regions and high plateaus, leading to cracking and a decline in mechanical properties. Simultaneously, load-bearing concrete is frequently subjected to complex multiaxial stress states. Therefore, accurate characterization of the multiaxial strength of concrete after freeze-thaw damage is of great significance for ensuring the safe service of concrete structures in cold regions.

[0003] Existing research has shown that traditional multiaxial strength criteria for undamaged concrete are inapplicable when determining the multiaxial strength of freeze-thawed concrete. Current methods for determining the multiaxial strength of freeze-thawed concrete require a large number of complex multiaxial strength tests to establish the relationship between multiaxial strength and the number of freeze-thaw cycles. Because the freeze-thaw cycle of concrete is influenced by numerous factors with varying effects on multiaxial strength, each factor requires a series of multiaxial strength tests to calibrate the parameters of the strength criteria. This results in a huge number of tests, high research costs, and numerous forms and parameters of the strength criteria, making it difficult to encompass all freeze-thaw influencing factors, leading to low applicability and difficulties in engineering applications. Therefore, a novel method for determining the multiaxial strength of freeze-thawed concrete is urgently needed, which should be widely applicable, cost-effective, and improve prediction accuracy for convenient practical application. Summary of the Invention

The relative uniaxial compressive strength is used to characterize the influence of different freeze-thaw factors on the multiaxial strength of concrete. Based on the relative uniaxial compressive strength of concrete, the multiaxial strength of concrete after freeze-thaw is determined by the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of concrete after freeze-thaw.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the relative uniaxial compressive strength of concrete is the ratio of the uniaxial compressive strength of concrete after freeze-thaw to the uniaxial compressive strength of concrete before freeze-thaw.

The method may further include: determining the normalized failure surface by normalizing the concrete by dividing it by the uniaxial compressive strength of the freeze-thawed concrete based on the relative uniaxial compressive strength of the concrete.

The same reference numerals in the drawings denote elements that have the same or similar functions. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, they are not necessarily drawn to scale unless specifically indicated otherwise.

In some instances, methods, means, components, and circuits well known to those skilled in the art have not been described in detail in order to highlight the main points of this disclosure.

[0072] Concrete often suffers freeze-thaw damage during service in cold regions such as polar regions and high plateaus, leading to cracking and a decline in mechanical properties. Simultaneously, load-bearing concrete is frequently subjected to complex multiaxial stress states. Therefore, accurate characterization of the multiaxial strength of concrete after freeze-thaw damage is crucial for ensuring the safe service of concrete structures in cold regions. Existing research indicates that traditional multiaxial strength criteria for undamaged concrete are inapplicable when determining the multiaxial strength of freeze-thawed concrete. Current methods for determining the multiaxial strength of freeze-thawed concrete require a series of complex multiaxial strength tests to establish the relationship between multiaxial strength and the number of freeze-thaw cycles. Because freeze-thaw factors affecting concrete are numerous and their impact on multiaxial strength varies greatly, each factor requires a series of multiaxial strength tests to calibrate the parameters of the strength criteria. This results in a massive number of tests, high research costs, and numerous forms and parameters of the strength criteria, making it difficult to encompass all freeze-thaw factors, leading to low applicability and difficulties in engineering applications. Therefore, a novel method for determining the multiaxial strength of freeze-thawed concrete is urgently needed, which should be widely applicable, cost-effective, and improve prediction accuracy for practical application.

[0073] In view of this, this application proposes a method, apparatus, and storage medium for determining the multiaxial strength of freeze-thawed concrete. The method of this application characterizes the influence of different freeze-thaw factors on the multiaxial strength of concrete by using the relative uniaxial compressive strength of the concrete. The established relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of freeze-thawed concrete has a unified parameter (relative uniaxial compressive strength), applicable to concretes with different freeze-thaw factors. It eliminates the need for numerous complex multiaxial strength tests and parameter calibration for each freeze-thaw factor, improving efficiency and reducing costs. Determining the multiaxial strength of freeze-thawed concrete through the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength established in this application has a wide range of applications and improves prediction accuracy.

The method of this embodiment can be applied to determining the multiaxial strength of freeze-thaw concrete under different freeze-thaw influencing factors. In traditional research, the main influencing factor of freeze-thaw damage is the number of freeze-thaw cycles. However, with the development of harsher service environments for concrete and new materials and structural forms, factors such as concrete pore structure, water saturation, type of freeze-thaw liquid, lower freeze-thaw limit temperature, and stress state during freeze-thaw cycles all significantly affect freeze-thaw damage in concrete.

[0077] The following is passed Figures 2-6 This paper introduces the method for determining the multiaxial strength of freeze-thawed concrete according to embodiments of this application.

[0078] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating a method for determining the multiaxial strength of freeze-thaw concrete according to an embodiment of this application is shown. This method can be used in terminal devices or servers, such as… Figure 2 As shown, the method may include:

[0079] Step S201: Obtain the uniaxial compressive strength of the concrete after freeze-thaw and the uniaxial compressive strength of the concrete before freeze-thaw, and determine the relative uniaxial compressive strength of the concrete.

[0080] Uniaxial compressive strength generally refers to the load per unit area that a standard concrete specimen can withstand under uniaxial compression until failure. For example, it can be determined through freeze-thaw cycle tests, uniaxial strength tests, or other existing simulation methods to determine the uniaxial compressive strength (which can be referred to as f) of the concrete specimen before freeze-thaw cycles. c ) and the uniaxial compressive strength after freeze-thaw (which can be called f) cDThe relative uniaxial compressive strength of concrete is (which can be referred to as R). c The ratio of the uniaxial compressive strength of concrete after freeze-thaw to the uniaxial compressive strength of concrete before freeze-thaw is called R. c =f cD / f c .

[0081] Relative uniaxial compressive strength can be used to characterize the influence of different freeze-thaw factors on the multiaxial strength of concrete. Freeze-thaw factors include one or more of the following: concrete grade, air content, pore structure, water saturation, type of freeze-thaw liquid, lower freeze-thaw limit temperature, and stress state during freeze-thaw cycles. See also... Figure 3 This illustrates a schematic diagram of a meridian according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 As shown, under different freeze-thaw influencing factors, when the relative uniaxial compressive strength R c At the same time, the meridian ( Figure 3 The curve in σ m / f cD τ can represent the mean principal stress of the normalized multiaxial principal stresses. m / f cD The mean shear stress (which can represent the normalized multiaxial shear stress) lies on a single curve, and the meridian can be used to express a typical cross-section of the failure surface of concrete. In particular, with... Figure 3 Taking the right side as an example, Figure 3 The right-side view is R in the left-side view c =0.6~0.8 corresponding meridians. It can be seen that under different freeze-thaw influencing factors (such as different types of concrete, different types of freeze-thaw liquids, etc.), as long as the relative uniaxial compressive strength R c If they are identical or sufficiently close, the meridians lie essentially on a single curve. This indicates the relative uniaxial compressive strength R. c It can replace different freeze-thaw influencing factors to uniformly reflect their impact on the multiaxial strength of concrete.

[0082] Step S202: Based on the relative uniaxial compressive strength of concrete, the multiaxial strength of concrete after freeze-thaw is determined by the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of concrete after freeze-thaw.

[0083] The multiaxial strength of freeze-thawed concrete generally refers to the maximum value of the three principal stresses at failure under multiaxial stress, with positive values ​​under tension and negative values ​​under compression. The relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of freeze-thawed concrete can be represented by the normalized failure surface of freeze-thawed concrete under multiaxial stress.

(See also...) Figure 4 This diagram illustrates the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of freeze-thawed concrete according to an embodiment of this application. The relationship can be established in advance based on existing multiaxial strength data of freeze-thawed concrete under various freeze-thaw influencing factors (including freeze-thaw cycle count, pore structure, and freeze-thaw fluid type, as shown in the diagram). The data points are normalized by dividing by the uniaxial compressive strength after freeze-thaw, thus establishing R0. c The normalized failure surface of concrete after freeze-thaw cycles under multiaxial stress (the description of this normalized failure surface is...)

When determining the multiaxial strength of concrete after freeze-thaw cycles, data from freeze-thaw cycle tests, uniaxial strength tests, or simulations can be used to obtain the changes in uniaxial compressive strength before and after freeze-thaw cycles, and R can be selected. c Instead of using multiple freeze-thaw influencing factors as indicators, based on a pre-established R... c By establishing the correlation between the normalized failure surface of freeze-thawed concrete under multiaxial stress and the uniaxial compressive strength of the concrete, the relationship between uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength can be established, thereby determining the multiaxial strength of the concrete. Compared with the prior art, the method of this application establishes a unified parameter for the relationship between uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of freeze-thawed concrete, applicable to concretes with different freeze-thaw influencing factors. It eliminates the need for extensive and complex multiaxial strength tests for parameter calibration for each freeze-thaw influencing factor, improving efficiency, reducing costs, broadening applicability, improving prediction accuracy, facilitating practical application, and effectively promoting research on the influence of a wider range of freeze-thaw factors on the multiaxial strength of concrete, thus contributing to the development of cold-region and polar engineering in my country.

[0085] According to the embodiments of this application, by characterizing the influence of different freeze-thaw factors on the multiaxial strength of concrete using the relative uniaxial compressive strength of concrete, the established relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of frozen-thawed concrete has a unified parameter (relative uniaxial compressive strength), which is applicable to concrete with different freeze-thaw factors. This eliminates the need for numerous complex multiaxial strength tests for parameter calibration for each freeze-thaw factor, improving efficiency and reducing costs. The relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of frozen-thawed concrete established in this application for determining the multiaxial strength of frozen-thawed concrete has a wide range of applications and improves prediction accuracy.

[0086] For the normalized failure surface of freeze-thawed concrete under multiaxial stress, the method may further include:

[0087] Based on the relative uniaxial compressive strength of concrete, the normalized failure surface is determined by normalizing it by dividing it by the uniaxial compressive strength of concrete after freeze-thaw cycles.

[0088] The normalized failure surface is defined in both the principal stress space (σ1,σ2,σ3) and the Heer-Westergaard stress space (ξ,ρ,θ). The principal stress space represents a spatial coordinate system with the three principal stress components σ1, σ2, and σ3 as coordinate axes. In the Heer-Westergaard stress space (ξ,ρ,θ), ξ represents hydrostatic pressure, ρ represents deviatoric plane stress, and θ represents the Lode angle. Unlike existing technologies, this application normalizes the failure surface by dividing by the uniaxial compressive strength of the freeze-thawed concrete. From the failure surface established after this normalization, we discovered that the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of the freeze-thawed concrete can be expressed piecewise in response to different constraint degrees, thus enabling a more accurate and efficient description of the actual failure of the freeze-thawed concrete and improving prediction accuracy.

[0089] The multiaxial strength of concrete after freeze-thaw cycles can be determined by the normalized failure surface of the concrete after freeze-thaw cycles. The failure surface is described by the tensile-compressive meridian and the deviated plane envelope. The tensile-compressive meridian is described by the Lode angle, the mean principal stress, and the mean shear stress.

[0090] Figure 5 A schematic diagram showing a normalized failure surface according to an embodiment of this application is provided. See also: Figure 5 To describe the normalized failure surface using the principal stress space and the Heyer-Westergard stress space, σ1 / f cD σ2 / f cD σ3 / f cD These are the normalized principal stresses of the triaxial stresses in principal stress space (using the uniaxial compressive strength f after freeze-thaw cycles). cD (Normalizing the principal stresses), ξ / f cD These are the parameters in the normalized Heyer-Westergaard stress space, expressed as a quadratic parabola. The failure surface changes as the relative uniaxial compressive strength changes. Based on the relative uniaxial compressive strength, the failure surface of concrete can be determined (i.e., the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of concrete after freeze-thaw cycles is determined), and thus the multiaxial strength of concrete can be determined. The method for determining the failure surface will be described in detail later.

[0091] The method in this application introduces the concept of constraint degree, which is the ratio of the average principal stress after freeze-thaw to the uniaxial compressive strength of the concrete after freeze-thaw. This constraint degree is used to express the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of the concrete after freeze-thaw in segments in response to different constraint degree magnitudes.

[0092] In one possible implementation, segmentation can be omitted (i.e., the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of the concrete after freeze-thaw is not considered to be unrelated to freeze-thaw damage). It can be assumed that the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of the concrete after freeze-thaw is related to freeze-thaw damage. In this case, the multiaxial strength of the concrete after freeze-thaw can be determined uniformly by the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of the concrete after freeze-thaw that is related to freeze-thaw damage.

[0093] To improve prediction accuracy and make the obtained multiaxial strength of frozen-thawed concrete more consistent with the actual damage of frozen-thawed concrete, it is also possible to segment the normalized failure surface of frozen-thawed concrete based on the pre-established normalized failure surface, distinguish whether the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of frozen-thawed concrete is related to freeze-thaw damage, and calculate the multiaxial strength of frozen-thawed concrete under different conditions.

[0094] This allows the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of freeze-thawed concrete to be expressed piecewise in response to different degrees of constraint, where the constraint is the ratio of the average principal stress after freeze-thaw to the uniaxial compressive strength of the concrete. The critical value of the constraint can be -0.8.

[0095] like Figure 5 As shown, in the experimental analysis, the constraint degree can be defined based on the normalized mean principal stress of the multiaxial principal stresses after freeze-thaw cycles, and the critical value of the constraint degree can be obtained by fitting the experimental data. Above the critical value, the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of the concrete after freeze-thaw cycles can be considered independent of freeze-thaw damage; below the critical value, the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of the concrete after freeze-thaw cycles can be considered related to freeze-thaw damage. Figure 5 As shown, with the increase of freeze-thaw damage, the shape of the failure surface gradually expands outward (see the different cases in the figure: undamaged concrete, freeze-thaw damaged concrete, and concrete with increased freeze-thaw damage). It can be seen that the shape of the normalized failure surface is different for different relative uniaxial compressive strengths. The following... Figure 5 Based on this, we will introduce the method of determining the multiaxial strength of concrete after freeze-thaw cycles in segments.

[0096] When the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of concrete after freeze-thaw cycles is independent of freeze-thaw damage, the method may further include:

[0097] In response to the constraint degree being not less than the critical value, the multiaxial strength of the concrete after freeze-thaw is determined based on the relative uniaxial compressive strength of the concrete after freeze-thaw and by the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of the unfrozen concrete.

[0098] In the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of unfrozen concrete, the ratio of uniaxial tensile-compressive strength of unfrozen concrete is replaced with the ratio of uniaxial tensile-compressive strength of frozen-thawed concrete, and the uniaxial compressive strength of unfrozen concrete is replaced with the uniaxial compressive strength of frozen-thawed concrete.

[0099] The uniaxial compressive strength after freeze-thaw can be obtained based on S201, and the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of unfrozen concrete can be obtained based on relevant technologies. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0100] The ratio of uniaxial compressive strength to uniaxial tensile strength of concrete after freeze-thaw is the ratio of uniaxial compressive strength to uniaxial tensile strength of concrete after freeze-thaw. The uniaxial tensile strength after freeze-thaw can be obtained by measurement or other methods.

[0101] One method for determining the uniaxial tensile-compressive strength ratio after freeze-thaw cycles is shown in formula (1):

[0102] f tD / f cD = R c 0.34 f t / f c Formula (1)

[0103] Among them, f tD / f cD It can represent the ratio of uniaxial tensile and compressive strength after freeze-thaw cycles, f t / f c R can represent the ratio of uniaxial tensile to compressive strength of concrete after freeze-thaw cycles. c This can represent the relative uniaxial compressive strength of concrete. Formula (1) can be obtained based on regression methods; see [reference needed]. Figure 6 This illustrates a schematic diagram of fitting a calculation formula according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 6 As shown, the horizontal axis represents the ratio of uniaxial compressive strength before and after freeze-thaw, and the vertical axis represents the ratio of uniaxial tensile strength before and after freeze-thaw. The data used for fitting (as shown in the figure, the data volume is 32) can be obtained in advance through experiments, etc. In this embodiment, the coefficient of determination R for fitting is... 2 (As shown in the figure, this indicates how well the data fits the model; the closer to 1, the better the fit.) The value is 0.78.

[0104] Therefore, the multiaxial strength of concrete after freeze-thaw is determined when the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of the concrete after freeze-thaw is independent of freeze-thaw damage.

[0105] When the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of concrete after freeze-thaw cycles is related to freeze-thaw damage, the above S202 may include:

[0106] In response to the constraint degree being less than the critical value, the multiaxial strength of the concrete after freeze-thaw is determined based on the relative uniaxial compressive strength of the concrete after freeze-thaw by means of the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and the multiaxial strength of the concrete after freeze-thaw.

[0107] Since the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of concrete after freeze-thaw cycles can be represented by the normalized failure surface of concrete after freeze-thaw cycles under multiaxial stress, and the normalized failure surface can be described by the tensile-compressive meridian and the deviated plane envelope, the characterization method of the normalized failure surface established in this application will be introduced below.

[0108] One method for determining the tensile and compressive meridians of the normalized failure surface after freeze-thaw cycles can be found in formula (2):

[0109]

[0110] Where, σ m It can represent the mean principal stress after freeze-thaw cycles, i.e., σ. m = (σ1+σ2+σ3) / 3, where σ1, σ2, and σ3 are the three principal stresses in the principal stress space, and σ m / f cD It can represent the uniaxial compressive strength f of concrete after freeze-thaw cycles. cD The mean principal stress after normalization. ρ is the deviated plane stress in the Heraeus-Westergaard stress space.

[0111] One way to determine m0 is to refer to formula (3):

[0112]

[0113] Among them, R c It can represent the relative uniaxial compressive strength of concrete, k0 can represent the preset parameters of the tension-compression meridian corresponding to unfrozen concrete, σ cr / f cD The preset threshold is -0.8; n for the pull meridian is 0.3, and n for the press meridian is 0.11.

[0114] One way to determine m1 is to refer to formula (4):

[0115] m1 = R c n k1 formula (4)

[0116] Where k1 can represent the preset parameters of the tension-compression meridian corresponding to unfrozen concrete.

[0117] One way to determine m2 is to refer to formula (5):

[0118] m2=R c n k2 formula (5)

[0119] Where k2 can represent the preset parameters of the tension-compression meridian corresponding to unfrozen concrete.

[0120] One method for determining the partial plane envelope of the normalized damage surface after freeze-thaw is shown in formula (6):

[0121]

[0122] Here, ρ(θ) can represent the deviatoric plane stress. θ is the Lode angle in the Heyer-Westergaard stress space. c ρ is when θ is 60°. t It is ρ when θ is 0°.

[0123] In this application, by fitting the experimental data, the value of n in the above formulas (3)-(5) is 0.3 when θ is 0° (corresponding to the pull meridian) and 0.11 when θ is 60° (corresponding to the compressive meridian). Based on the value of n obtained by fitting in this application, the multiaxial strength after freeze-thaw can be determined more accurately.

[0124] The relationship between multiaxial principal stresses and deviatoric plane stresses can be found in formula (7):

[0125]

[0126] One method for calculating the Lode angle θ can be found in formula (8):

[0127]

[0128] Formulas (2) and (6) above can represent the normalized failure surface after freeze-thaw cycles (see [reference to previous section] for details). Figure 5 In determining multiaxial strength, at least two principal stresses (any two of σ1, σ2, and σ3) or the relationship between the three principal stresses are known, and the relative uniaxial compressive strength R of the concrete is also known. c We can substitute these values ​​into formulas (2)-(8) to solve for the principal stresses to be determined (i.e., the terms to be determined in σ1, σ2, and σ3).

[0129] In one possible implementation, the concrete may include confined concrete, which is concrete under confining pressure. When the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength of the confined concrete in the unconfined state and its multiaxial strength in the confined state after freeze-thaw is related to freeze-thaw damage, the aforementioned S202 includes:

[0130] In response to the constraint degree being less than the critical value, based on the relative uniaxial compressive strength of the confined concrete in the unconstrained state and the confining pressure on the confined concrete, the multiaxial strength of the confined concrete in the constrained state after freeze-thaw is determined by the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength of the confined concrete in the unconstrained state and the multiaxial strength in the constrained state.

[0131] The critical value is, for example, -0.8. According to the characteristics of confined concrete, the two principal stresses in its multiaxial principal stresses after freeze-thaw are the same (i.e., σ1 = σ2), which is the magnitude of the confining pressure on the confined concrete.

[0132] The relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength of unconfined concrete and its multiaxial strength under confinement after freeze-thaw cycles can be obtained based on the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of the concrete after freeze-thaw cycles. Specifically, by transforming and simplifying the above formulas (2)-(8), the following formula (9) can be obtained, which serves as the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength of unconfined concrete and its multiaxial strength under confinement after freeze-thaw cycles, thus determining the multiaxial strength of the confined concrete under confinement after freeze-thaw cycles:

[0133]

[0134] Among them, f ccD It can represent the multiaxial strength of confined concrete under confinement after freeze-thaw cycles, f ccD / f cD This can represent the uniaxial compressive strength f of concrete under unconfined conditions after freeze-thaw cycles. cD Normalized multiaxial strength of confined concrete under confinement after freeze-thaw cycles. r It can represent the magnitude of the confining pressure on the confined concrete.

[0135] When the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength of confined concrete under unconfined conditions and its multiaxial strength under confined conditions after freeze-thaw cycles is independent of freeze-thaw damage, the method may further include:

[0136] In response to the constraint degree not being less than the critical value, based on the relative uniaxial compressive strength of the confined concrete in the unconstrained state, the multiaxial strength of the confined concrete in the constrained state after freeze-thaw is determined by the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength of the unfrozen confined concrete in the unconstrained state and the multiaxial strength of the confined concrete in the constrained state.

[0137] In the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength of unconfined concrete in the unconfined state and its multiaxial strength in the confined state, the ratio of the uniaxial tensile and compressive strength of unconfined concrete in the unconfined state is replaced by the uniaxial tensile and compressive strength of confined concrete after freeze-thaw in the unconfined state, and the uniaxial compressive strength of unconfined concrete in the unconfined state is replaced by the uniaxial compressive strength of confined concrete after freeze-thaw in the unconfined state.

[0138] The relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength of unconfined concrete in an unconfined state and its multiaxial strength in a confined state can be obtained based on relevant technologies, and this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0139] The ratio of uniaxial compressive strength to uniaxial tensile strength of unconfined concrete after freeze-thaw cycles is the ratio of its uniaxial compressive strength to its uniaxial tensile strength under the same conditions. This ratio can be determined using the formula (1) above. The uniaxial tensile strength of unconfined concrete after freeze-thaw cycles can be obtained through methods such as measurement.

[0143] The mean and covariance represent the average and covariance between the experimental and predicted values. As shown in Table 1, the method based on the embodiments of this application can more accurately determine the multiaxial strength of concrete after freeze-thaw cycles under various freeze-thaw influencing factors compared to existing technologies, and has a wide range of applications. Furthermore, as shown in Table 1, the embodiments of this application achieve higher prediction accuracy by segmenting based on critical values.

[0144] Figure 7 A structural diagram of a device for determining the multiaxial strength of freeze-thaw concrete according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 7 As shown, the device includes:

[0145] The first determining module 701 obtains the uniaxial compressive strength of concrete after freeze-thaw and the uniaxial compressive strength of concrete before freeze-thaw, and determines the relative uniaxial compressive strength of concrete. The relative uniaxial compressive strength is used to characterize the influence of different freeze-thaw factors on the multiaxial strength of concrete.

[0146] The second determining module 702 is used to determine the multiaxial strength of concrete after freeze-thaw by means of the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of concrete after freeze-thaw, based on the relative uniaxial compressive strength of concrete.

[0151] In one possible implementation, the normalized failure surface is described by the tensile-compressive meridian and the off-plane envelope, which is described by the Lode angle, the mean principal stress, and the mean shear stress.

[0152] In one possible implementation, the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of freeze-thawed concrete is expressed piecewise in response to different degrees of constraint, where the degree of constraint is the ratio of the average principal stress after freeze-thaw to the uniaxial compressive strength of the freeze-thawed concrete.

[0155] In the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of unfrozen concrete, the ratio of uniaxial tensile-compressive strength of unfrozen concrete is replaced with the ratio of uniaxial tensile-compressive strength of frozen-thawed concrete, and the uniaxial compressive strength of unfrozen concrete is replaced with the uniaxial compressive strength of frozen-thawed concrete.

[0156] In one possible implementation, the critical value of the constraint degree is -0.8.

[0157] In one possible implementation, the second determining module 702 is used for:

[0158] In response to the constraint degree being less than the critical value, based on the relative uniaxial compressive strength of concrete, the multiaxial strength of concrete after freeze-thaw is determined by the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of concrete after freeze-thaw.

[0159] The relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of concrete after freeze-thaw cycles is represented by the normalized failure surface of the concrete under multiaxial stress. The normalized failure surface is described by the tensile-compressive meridian and the deviated plane envelope. The tensile-compressive meridian is calculated as follows:

[0160]

[0161] Where, σ m f represents the principal stress after freeze-thaw cycles. cD This represents the uniaxial compressive strength of confined concrete in an unconfined state after freeze-thaw cycles. ρ is the deviated plane stress in the Heraeus-Westergaard stress space;

[0167]

[0168] Among them, R c This represents the relative uniaxial compressive strength of concrete. k0, k1, and k2 are preset parameters for the tension-compression meridians corresponding to unfrozen concrete. The preset thresholds are: n = 0.3 for the pull meridian and n = 0.11 for the press meridian.

[0169] In one possible implementation, the concrete includes confined concrete, and the device may further include:

[0170] The fifth determination module is used to determine the multiaxial strength of the confined concrete under confinement in response to the constraint degree not being less than the critical value. Based on the relative uniaxial compressive strength of the confined concrete in the unconstrained state, the multiaxial strength of the confined concrete under confinement in the unconstrained state is determined by the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength of the un-freeze-thaw confined concrete and the multiaxial strength under confinement.

[0171] In the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength of unconfined concrete in the unconfined state and its multiaxial strength in the confined state, the ratio of the uniaxial tensile and compressive strength of unconfined concrete in the unconfined state is replaced by the uniaxial tensile and compressive strength of confined concrete after freeze-thaw in the unconfined state, and the uniaxial compressive strength of unconfined concrete in the unconfined state is replaced by the uniaxial compressive strength of confined concrete after freeze-thaw in the unconfined state.

[0172] In one possible implementation, the concrete includes confined concrete, and the second determining module 702 is used for:

[0173] In response to the constraint degree being less than the critical value, based on the relative uniaxial compressive strength of the confined concrete in the unconstrained state and the confining pressure on the confined concrete, the multiaxial strength of the confined concrete in the confined state after freeze-thaw is determined by the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength of the confined concrete in the unconstrained state and the multiaxial strength in the confined state. The relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength of the confined concrete in the unconstrained state and the multiaxial strength in the confined state after freeze-thaw is obtained based on the relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and the multiaxial strength of the concrete after freeze-thaw.

[0174] The calculation method for the multiaxial strength of confined concrete under confinement after freeze-thaw cycles is as follows:

[0175]

[0176] Among them, f ccD f represents the multiaxial strength of confined concrete under confinement after freeze-thaw cycles. r f represents the confining pressure exerted on the confined concrete. cD R represents the uniaxial compressive strength of confined concrete in the unconfined state after freeze-thaw cycles. c It represents the relative uniaxial compressive strength of confined concrete in an unconfined state.

[0177] According to the embodiments of this application, by characterizing the influence of different freeze-thaw factors on the multiaxial strength of concrete using the relative uniaxial compressive strength of concrete, the established relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of frozen-thawed concrete has a unified parameter (relative uniaxial compressive strength), which is applicable to concrete with different freeze-thaw factors. This eliminates the need for numerous complex multiaxial strength tests for parameter calibration for each freeze-thaw factor, improving efficiency and reducing costs. The relationship between the uniaxial compressive strength and multiaxial strength of frozen-thawed concrete established in this application for determining the multiaxial strength of frozen-thawed concrete has a wide range of applications and improves prediction accuracy.
