Abstract: The behavior of concrete in biaxial compression is briefly described as determined from experiments performed on six mixes by a testing machine capable of loading concrete slabs simultaneously in two orthogonal directions. Strain readings in the three principal directions, microcracking, and ultimate load were observed and measured for various values of lateral load on specimens from each mix. The results show that the elastic parameters, the load at which microcracking occurs, and the ultimate load are not constant but are dependent on the value of the lateral load. The effect of varying the aggregate size, water-cement ratio, and aggregate-cement ratio was also studied; these were shown to have a considerable influence on the properties of concrete in biaxial compression.

Behavior of Concrete Under Biaxial Stresses
Helmut B. Kupfer,Kurt H. Gerstle +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of an extensive series of tests of three types of concrete under biaxial loadings are used to develop stress-strain relations for concrete subjected to bialastic stress states, by means of a decomposition of the stresses and strains into their hydrostatic and deviatoric portions.
