Abstract:
In the current study, a multiaxial LITS model of concrete was innovatively developed. This model can predict the behavior of concrete subjected to wide applied load level ranges from 20 % to 80 % and temperatures up to 800 degrees C. A 3D LITS model is developed through a triaxial compression stress confinement implementation and Poisson's ratio. Considering the water evaporation of concrete under high temperature, a third order polynomial LITS derivative function and an exponential derivative function were proposed to characterize the effects of the stress confinement and thermal effect. In order to comprehensively predict the performance of concrete subjected to multiaxial compressive loads in fire, an orthotropic triaxial compression thermo-mechanical damage model for concrete is developed. The effect of LITS on the multiaxial stress-strain response was considered in the multiaxial model. The coupling thermo-mechanical contributions containing the development of LITS among thermal effect, stress confinement, damage and plastic hardening evolution were creatively considered in the potential function within thermodynamics framework. The numerical calculations of this proposed model were conducted for validation. The effect of LITS on the multiaxial stress-strain response was studied. The nonlinear stress-strain responses of concrete were accurately captured at temperatures ranges from 20 degrees C to 1000 degrees C through the comparative study with test results in literatures, which indicates the accuracy and applicability of the proposed model.
