- Abstract
Aiming to provide a solution for natural resource consumption and agricultural waste pollution, jujube nucleus is utilized as a substitute for coarse aggregate in the preparation of lightweight aggregate concrete. The effect of the jujube nucleus (JN) replacement ratio and the elevated temperature on the uniaxial compressive stress–strain curves of jujube nucleus concrete (JNC) are experimentally studied. The results show that the failure of the JNC prisms became more serious with the increase in the JN replacement ratio. The linear proportion in ascending branch and the descending slope of the stress–strain curves for JNC increased gradually with the increase in the JN replacement ratio and elevated temperature, which is probably owing to the higher porosity and lower stiffness of the jujube nucleus, compared to natural aggregate. Moreover, as the JN replacement ratio and the elevated temperature increase, the peak stress and elastic modulus in the stress–strain curves of JNC decrease gradually, whilst an increase in the peak strain shows up, which is possibly due to the growth of hydrate calcium silicate and calcium hydroxide hampered by sucrose molecules. Based on the test results, a series of theoretical formulas are proposed to predict the compressive performance of JNC. A material constitutive model is developed for describing the stress–strain relationship of JNC by considering the JN replacement ratio and elevated temperature.
