The Study of Field Effect through Uniaxial Compression Experiment on Marine Recycled Concrete Specimen Based on DPDM Technique
Recycled concrete is a kind of composite heterogeneous material. Through the uniaxial compression experiment on recycled concrete specimen, the corresponding stress-strain curve is depicted with the major variables of replacement rate of recycled aggregate and time of corrosion by seawater, and the analysis of compression resistance capacity of recycled concrete sample is carried out by comparing common samples with those after the process of vacuum pumping. According to the results of comparison, the process of vacuum pumping can raise the strength of concrete by 9% to 22% and the lowering speed of compression resistance capacity rises as replacement rate of recycled aggregate goes up after the same corrosion period. The compression resistance capacity of the concrete specimen with replacement rate of 60% descends 50% to 80% faster than the sample with 30% of rate. DPDM technique is used to analyze deformation field, displacement field and strain field of concrete specimen during the process of uniaxial compression. As shown in the images from the experiment, the cracks develop from the bottom and both edges towards the middle part along the direction of loading until some of them run through the cube with the failure of the overall specimen while the stress reaches the peak, the displacement amount decreases from bottom to top and from both edges to center and the greatest strain concentration scatters around the bottom of the specimen while the strain of 62% appears around the peak stress of 33-36MPa. This paper puts forward constructive references and guidance for the application of recycled concrete in marine engineering on the basis of the study of field effect through uniaxial compression experiment based on DPDM technique.
