A Study of the Relationship between the Stress State and Failure Mode of Concrete Specimens

الملخص EN

An investigation of concrete specimen’s strength and its changing mechanism based on numerical simulation of the failure process of axis-stressed concrete specimens with different aspect ratios was described.

The state of internal stress and growth of crack of axis-stressed concrete specimens, as well as the changing mechanism of specimen strength under different ambient pressure values, were investigated.

The results revealed that specimen strength and failure surface decreased as the aspect ratio is increased.

The specimen strength is dependent on the state of internal stress and decreased with decreasing ambient pressure.

Additionally, the failure mode shifted from shear failure to tensile failure gradually.
