High-performance lightweight aggregate concrete with inorganic polymers cement based on multiple minerals is a very promising new material. The research of mechanical properties of the new material is of great theoretical and practical significance. In this research, the failure behavior, cubic and prism compressive strength, elastic modulus, peak strain of the new material, and the nature of the stress-strain curve are studied. An analytical model is quoted to represent the ascending and descending parts of the stress-strain curve.

According to the contrast test of LC30, LC40 lightweight aggregate concrete and C30, C40 common concrete , the text researched the mechanical property of lightweight aggregate concrete and ordinary concrete in the same strength grade and obtained the regularity of stress-strain curve of lightweight aggregate concrete in different strength grade. Then we contrasted the experimental results and planning model, analysed the difference, and suggested that the standards should improve the descent stage of the stress-strain curve of lightweight aggregate concrete combined with correlative experiments data, and give the equation of the descent stage of stress-strain curves. Concrete material in axial compression is the basic physical mechanical performance of concrete material, and is the main basis for researching bearing capacity and deformation of concrete construction. The stress-strain relationship is all-around macroscopic reaction of basal compressive property . There have been many experiments work about the stress-strain relationship of lightweight aggregate concrete at home and abroad , and found the peak strain of lightweight aggregate concrete is higher than that of ordinary concrete in the context of same peak stress .In this paper, on the basis of experimental investigations of lightweight aggregate concrete , aim at the stress-strain relationship ,we have take comparison experiment about LC30,LC40 lightweight aggregate concrete and C30,C40 ordinary concrete , and sort out stress-strain curve under the condition of the shaft center being compressed, so get the average tress-strain curve of LC30,LC40 lightweight aggregate concrete , and analyse the curve.

The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of EPS content on failure mode, stress-strain relationship and elastic modulus of expanded polystyrene aggregate concrete (PAC) with density lower than 900 kg/m3under uniaxial loading. The results show that PAC performs a good compressibility in the compression failure process. Apparent oblique crack appears in the case of uniaxial compression specimen damage; the lower the density is, the smaller the tilt angle of oblique cracks will be. Stress-strain curve of PAC with density larger than 422 kg/m3maintains a straight line relationship on ascending segment but varies with the density on the descent segment. The lower the density is, the larger PAC residual relative stress will become. Elastic modulus of PAC is proportional to 5.85 times index of relative density.

High performance concrete (HPC) with a water/cement ratio (w/c) of 0.32 and different lightweight aggregate (LWA) contents (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) were prepared, and the influence of LWA on concrete frost-resistance and impermeability at different ages were studied, as well as the hydration degree, hydrated product, pattern and pore structure of the paste around aggregate. The results show that, by replacing normal weight aggregate (NWA) with 50% and 100% volume contents of pre-wetted LWA respectively, the chemical bound water of the cement paste surrounding aggregate are increased 12.1% and 22.7% as compared to concrete mixed without LWA. And at 28 days, lightweight aggregate concrete has the highest Ca(OH)2 content, whereas the 90-day Ca(OH)2 content of normal weight concrete is the highest. This proves that, with the increase of LWA content in concrete, both of the internal curing effect of pre-wetted LWA and secondary hydration effect of fly ash (FA) are strengthened, this can also be verified by the SEM study. Furthermore, the pore structure of the cement paste around aggregate can be improved consequently. The performance of frost-resistance of HPC can be improved by mixing LWA, the 90 day-frost-resistance of lightweight aggregate concrete is about 2.5 times of that of concrete mixed without LWA. The influence of LWA on the impermeability of HPC is different from normal concrete. When LWA content is more than 50%, the HPC impermeability decreased obviously, however at later age the difference between them becomes minor.

This paper investigates the compression behavior and failure criteria of lightweight aggregate concrete (LAC) under triaxial loading. A total of 156 specimens were tested for three parameters: concrete strength, lateral confining pressure and aggregate immersion time, and their effects on the failure mode of LAC and the triaxial stress-strain relationship of LAC is studied. The research indicated that, as the lateral constraint of the specimen increases, the failure patterns change from vertical splitting failure to oblique shearing failure and then to indistinct traces of damage. The stress-strain curve of LAC specimens has an obvious stress plateau, and the curve no longer appears downward when the confining pressure exceeds 12 MPa. According to the experimental phenomenon and test data, the failure criterion was examined on the Mohr–Coulomb theory, octahedral shear stress theory and Rendulic plane stress theory, which well reflects the behavior of LAC under triaxial compression. For the convenience of analysis and application, the stress-strain constitutive models of LAC under triaxial compression are recommended, and these models correlate well with the test results.
