Investigation of Uniaxial Compression Stress–Strain Relationship of Early Age Manufactured Sand Concrete and Its Application

To improve the construction efficiency of the manufactured sand concrete engineering at an early age, the uniaxial compressive stress–strain relationship of C50 manufactured sand concrete is investigated starting at 2 days to 28 days. With the characteristics of the stress–strain relationship, the uniaxial compression constitutive model is determined for the C50 manufactured sand concrete at early age. The influence of age, water-to-binder ratio, and fly ash admixture on the peak stress and peak strain of manufactured sand concrete is analyzed for the parameters of the constitutive model. Results show that the stress–strain curve of manufactured sand concrete is essentially similar to that of ordinary concrete. Via six typical constitutive models, the Sargin model produced the best fitting: its R2 mean is 0.9775, MAE mean is 0.1335, and MSE mean is 0.0175. Considering the influence of different factors, the early age uniaxial compressive constitutive models of manufactured sand concrete were proposed based on the Sargin model. Combined with the on-site construction process of the high pier formwork climb, the finite element analysis was carried out using the proposed early age uniaxial compressive constitutive model. Compared with the measured results of strain near the climbing cone, the error was less than 10% from the simulated value. The findings confirm that the proposed early age uniaxial compressive constitutive model presents great reasonableness for the manufactured sand concrete construction at an early age.
