Abstract:In order to study the stress strain relationship of stirrups confined concrete under acid rain environment erosion, the different concentrations of acid liquor was prepared to simulate the acid rain environment. 50 reinforced concrete specimens of 150mm×150mm× 450mm with stirrup characteristic value 0195 and 0125 were soaked by acid solution, axial compression loading experiment was carried out. The influence of erosion degree and stirrup characteristic value on the mechanical properties such as peak stress and peak strain of concrete were investigated and the stress strain curve of confined concrete was obtained. The experimental results show that the compressive stress strain curve of confined concrete is flat, in the case of the same stirrup characteristic value, with the increase of acid concentration, the peak stress of concrete decreases linearly, and peak strain of concrete increases. Under the same solution concentration, the decreased degree of peak stress and the increased degree of peak strain decreased with the increase of concrete strength level.
