Study on Deformation Characteristics and Damage Model of NMK Concrete under Cold Environment

To improve the ability of concrete structures to resist freeze-thaw damage in cold environments, explore the effect and mechanism of nano-metakaolin (NMK) on frost resistance of concrete. And make up for the deficiencies in the mechanical properties and deformation process of na-no-metakaolin concrete in freeze-thaw environments. Rapid freeze-thaw cycle experiment was car-ried out to detect the deterioration law of concrete. Physical and mechanical properties under freeze-thaw environment was measured. The modification mechanism of nano-metakaolin on con-crete frost resistance from micro and meso scales was analyzed. The effect of freeze-thaw damage on nano-metakaolin concrete was characterized. The influence law of stress strain is established, and the meso-statistical damage constitutive model of nano-metakaolin concrete under freeze-thaw action is established. The results show that: Compared with other nano-clays, adding 5% nano-metakaolin can effectively slow down concrete’s freeze-thaw cracking and crack propagation. After 125 freeze-thaw cycles, the surface crack width of concrete mixed with 5% nano-metakaolin is only 0.1mm. Without freeze-thaw cycles, the compressive strength of concrete mixed with 3% nano-metakaolin is the highest, which is 28.75% higher than that of ordinary concrete; after 125 freeze-thaw cycles, the loss rate of compressive strength of concrete mixed with 5% nano-metakaolin was 12.07%. After 125 freeze-thaw cycles, the peak strain is 0.45 times that of concrete without NMK, and the peak stress is 3 times that of concrete without NMK.
