Abstract:
This paper presents a systematic experimental investigation to evaluate the effect of the initial damage degree on static and dynamic compressive/splitting-tensile failure behaviors of concrete cubes with various structural sizes. The experimental parameters involve three initial compressive damage degrees (0%Pmax,s, 40%Pmax,s, and 80%Pmax,s), two loading strain rates (epsilon = 10-5/s and 10-2/s), and five geometric dimensions (side length 75, 100, 150, 200, and 300 mm). Test results indicate that as the initial damage degree increases, both static and dynamic nominal strength are reduced. The influence of initial damage degree on dynamic failure strength is more significant than that on static strength. Compared to dynamic compressive strength, the initial damage de-gree has a more significant influence on dynamic splitting tensile strength. The influence of geometric dimension on nominal strength is weakened with the increasing loading strain rate. The increasing initial damage can enhance the influence of geometric dimension on nominal strength, resulting in a more obvious size-effect.
