Stress-Strain Relationship of Steel Fiber Reinforced Alkali Activated Slag Concrete under Static Compression

Stress-strain curve can accurately reflect the mechanical behavior of materials, and it is very important for structural design and nonlinear numerical analysis. Some cube and prism specimens were made to investigate the physical and mechanical properties of steel fiber reinforced alkali activated slag concrete (AASC); test results show that the strength, Young’s Elastic Modulus, and Poisson’s ratio all increase with the increase of steel fiber content. The steel fiber reinforced AASC shows an excellent postcracking behavior. Damage evolution parameter (D) was used to describe the formation and propagation of cracks, and continuum damage evolution model of steel fiber reinforced AASC was established by Weibull and Cauchy distribution. The establishing model can well describe the geometric characteristics of the key points of the concrete materials stress-strain curve. Finally, the accuracy of the model was verified by comparing the test stress-strain relationship curve of steel fiber reinforced AASC.
