Abstract

To investigate the static compressive properties and mechanical damage evolution of rubber cement-based materials (RCBMs) with dry- and wet-curing conditions, uniaxial compression and cyclic loading—unloading tests were carried out on rubber cement mortar (RCM). The mechanical properties of the uniaxial compression specimens cured at 95% (wet-curing) and 50% (dry-curing) relative humidities and cyclic loading—unloading specimens cured at wet-curing were analyzed. Under uniaxial compression, the peak stress loss ratio is higher for dry-curing than for wet-curing. The peak strain decreases with the increase of rubber content, and the peak strain increases with the decrease of curing humidity. Under cyclic loading—unloading, the variation trends of residual strain differences of the normal cement mortar and RCM at each cyclic level with the number of cycles are basically the same, but the failure modes are different. The analysis of the internal mesostructure by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) shows that initial damage is further enhanced by reducing curing humidity and adding rubber aggregate. The damage constitutive model based on strain equivalence principle and statistical theories was used to describe the uniaxial compression characteristics of RCM, and the law of mechanical damage evolution was predicted.

摘要

为了研究橡胶水泥基材料(RCBMs)在干、湿养护条件下的静态压缩性能及力学损伤演化,对橡胶水泥砂浆(RCM)进行了单轴压缩和循环加−卸载试验。 分析了在95% (湿润养护)和50% (干燥养护)相对湿度养护条件下单轴压缩试件和湿润养护下循环加−卸载试件的力学性能。 结果表明,在单轴压缩试验中,试件在干燥养护下的峰值应力损失率高于湿润养护的。 峰值应变随着橡胶含量的增加而减小,随着养护湿度的降低而增大。 在循环加−卸载试验下,普通水泥砂浆(NCM)和RCM 在各循环水平的残余应变差随循环次数的变化趋势基本相同,但两者的破坏模式不同。 对试件基体内部细观结构的SEM 观察表明,降低养护湿度和掺加橡胶骨料均进一步增大了水泥砂浆的初始损伤。 采用基于应变等效原理和统计理论建立损伤本构模型来描述RCM 的单轴压缩特征,有效表征和预测了力学损伤演化规律。
