Numerical Simulation of SCC Uniaxial Compression Test with Different Fly Ash Content Based on Discrete Element Method
In order to study the change of mechanical properties and failure behavior of self-compacting concrete with different fly ash con-tent,the FISH language in PFC2D and the linear bonding model built in the program were used to establish a single self-compacting concrete with different fly ash content.The discrete element model of the axial compression test was compared with the actual test results to analyze the internal failure form and force chain changes.The research shows that the ultimate strength of FA-SCC with different fly ash content increases first and then decreases,and the failure cracks are all diagonal cracks.The difference lies in the number of vertical cracks in the middle.The established two-dimensional discrete element numerical model type can well simulate the uniaxial compression test of fly ash self-compacting concrete structure,and can well observe the process of the generation of micro-cracks in the material,the expansion of cracks and the forma-tion of diagonal penetration cracks when the axial compression failure occurs,which makes up for the indoor test only relying on the naked eye.At the same time,the axial compressive strength and stress-strain curves of the self-compacting concrete output by the model under dif-ferent fly ash content are highly consistent with the laboratory test results,and the error of the maximum compressive strength measured does not exceed 7.1%,which is the result of fly ash.The discrete element simulation and mesostructure research of grey self-compacting concrete provide reference.
