Two-component foaming polymer (TFPU) grouting material is increasingly used in civil engineering. Its compressive strength is key to achieving the desired enhancing effect. The constitutive model of TFPU grouting material is a theoretical basis to evaluate the strength performance, which, however, is not fully understood. Here the uniaxial compression experiment of TFPU samples of different densities (0.11–0.53 g·cm−3) was conducted. Based on the stress–strain curves, the damage evolution equation of each sample was obtained by function fitting, followed by the establishment of statistical damage constitutive model. The model was simplified to a universal function with density as the argument. Results show that the stress–strain curves contain the initial compression stage, linear elastic stage, yield stage, yield plateau stage, and strain hardening stage regardless of the varied density. The variation laws of the damage with strain conform to the form of first-order decay exponential function. The theoretical stress–strain curves are in good agreement with the experimental ones, indicating that the statistical damage constitutive model can well reflect the mechanical behavior of TFPU grouting material. With this constitutive model, the mechanical properties of TFPU grouting material can be obtained according to the density alone, which is more convenient for practical engineering applications. |
