Abstract
The freeze–thaw damage in wastewater concrete cube specimen (WCCS) of different sizes (side lengths of 40 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm, and 200 mm) at different numbers of freeze–thaw cycles (FTCs) (0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 cycles) was investigated. The attenuation laws of mass and relative dynamic modulus of elasticity (RDME) of concrete specimens were analyzed. Using RDME as the damage variable, a freeze–thaw damage model (FTDM) of wastewater concrete based on Weibull distribution was established. The specific function form of two-parameter Weibull distribution of wastewater concrete considering the influence of size change and FTCs is proposed. The damage degree of concrete specimens under these combined influences (FTCs and specimen size) is accurately described, with a relative error between experimental and calculated values being below 26%, providing a theoretical reference for understanding the damage evolution of wastewater concrete in cold areas.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Civil and Mechanical Engineering (ACME) publishes both theoretical and experimental original research articles which explore or exploit new ideas and techniques in three main areas: structural engineering, mechanics of materials and materials science.
The aim of the journal is to advance science related to structural engineering focusing on structures, machines and mechanical systems. The journal also promotes advancement in the area of mechanics of materials, by publishing most recent findings in elasticity, plasticity, rheology, fatigue and fracture mechanics.
The third area the journal is concentrating on is materials science, with emphasis on metals, composites, etc., their structures and properties as well as methods of evaluation.
In addition to research papers, the Editorial Board welcomes state-of-the-art reviews on specialized topics. All such articles have to be sent to the Editor-in-Chief before submission for pre-submission review process. Only articles approved by the Editor-in-Chief in pre-submission process can be submitted to the journal for further processing. Approval in pre-submission stage doesn''t guarantee acceptance for publication as all papers are subject to a regular referee procedure.
