This paper investigates the compression behavior and failure criteria of lightweight aggregate concrete (LAC) under triaxial loading. A total of 156 specimens were tested for three parameters: concrete strength, lateral confining pressure and aggregate immersion time, and their effects on the failure mode of LAC and the triaxial stress-strain relationship of LAC is studied. The research indicated that, as the lateral constraint of the specimen increases, the failure patterns change from vertical splitting failure to oblique shearing failure and then to indistinct traces of damage. The stress-strain curve of LAC specimens has an obvious stress plateau, and the curve no longer appears downward when the confining pressure exceeds 12 MPa. According to the experimental phenomenon and test data, the failure criterion was examined on the Mohr–Coulomb theory, octahedral shear stress theory and Rendulic plane stress theory, which well reflects the behavior of LAC under triaxial compression. For the convenience of analysis and application, the stress-strain constitutive models of LAC under triaxial compression are recommended, and these models correlate well with the test results.

According to the contrast test of LC30, LC40 lightweight aggregate concrete and C30, C40 common concrete , the text researched the mechanical property of lightweight aggregate concrete and ordinary concrete in the same strength grade and obtained the regularity of stress-strain curve of lightweight aggregate concrete in different strength grade. Then we contrasted the experimental results and planning model, analysed the difference, and suggested that the standards should improve the descent stage of the stress-strain curve of lightweight aggregate concrete combined with correlative experiments data, and give the equation of the descent stage of stress-strain curves. Concrete material in axial compression is the basic physical mechanical performance of concrete material, and is the main basis for researching bearing capacity and deformation of concrete construction. The stress-strain relationship is all-around macroscopic reaction of basal compressive property . There have been many experiments work about the stress-strain relationship of lightweight aggregate concrete at home and abroad , and found the peak strain of lightweight aggregate concrete is higher than that of ordinary concrete in the context of same peak stress .In this paper, on the basis of experimental investigations of lightweight aggregate concrete , aim at the stress-strain relationship ,we have take comparison experiment about LC30,LC40 lightweight aggregate concrete and C30,C40 ordinary concrete , and sort out stress-strain curve under the condition of the shaft center being compressed, so get the average tress-strain curve of LC30,LC40 lightweight aggregate concrete , and analyse the curve.

The recycling of waste tires in lightweight aggregate concrete (LC) would achieve huge environmental and societal benefits, but the effects of rubber particles on the partial properties of LC are not clear (e.g., the stress–strain relationship). In this paper, uniaxial compressive experiments were conducted to evaluate the stress–strain relationship of self-compacting rubber lightweight aggregate concrete (SCRLC). Rubber particles were used to replace sand by volume, and substitution percentages of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% were set as influence factors. Experimental results indicate that with increased rubber particles substitution percentage, the cubic compressive strength and axial compressive strength of SCRLC decreased, while the failure modes of SCRLC prism specimens gradually changed from brittle to ductile failure. As the rubber particles substitution percentage increased from 0% to 50%, the peak strain of SCRLC increased whereas peak stress, elastic modulus, and peak secant modulus of SCRLC deceased, the descending stage of stress–strain curves became softer. The rubber particles substitution percentage of 30% was the critical point at which an obvious change in the properties of SCRLC occurred. Based on the data collected from experimental studies, a predictive model for SCRLC was established and a further prediction of the SCRLC stress–strain relationship was given.
