Abstract:To investigate the influences of cyclic loading history to rate effect of water-saturated concrete under pressurized water environment, the conventional triaxial compression test was carried out in different strain rates(10-5/s、10-4/s、10-3/s、10-2/s)with the water-saturated concrete samples(in the water environment with 2MPa confining pressure)which had experienced different cyclic loading times(0、25、50、100 times), the change law and mechanism of the basic mechanical parameters such as peak stress, peak strain, elasticity modulus and energy absorption ability were analyzed. It was found that the peak stress, elasticity modulus and energy absorption ability of water-saturated concrete samples all increaseed at first and then decreaseed with the increasing times of cyclic loading, and the turning point of peak stress and energy absorption ability came close to the direction that cyclic loading times became bigger with strain rate increasing, but the peak strain decreased generally. The peak stress, elasticity modulus and energy absorption ability of the concrete samples which experienced same cyclic loading times all increased with the strain rates increasing and the rate effect was more conspicuous with cyclic loading times increasing, the elasticity modulus showed the change law on the contrary.
