Abstract: 
lightweight aggregate concrete cube specimens (100 mm×100 mm×100 mm) and plate specimens (100 mm×100 mm×50 mm) were tested under biaxial compression-compression (CC) and compression-tension (CT) load combinations. For comparison, normal concrete plate specimens (100 mm×100 mm×50 mm) were tested under the same load combinations. Based on the test results, a two-level strength criterion of lightweight aggregate concrete in both octahedral stress coordinate and principal stress coordinate was suggested. The lightweight aggregate concrete cube specimens (100 mm×100 mm×100 mm) were then tested under triaxial compression-compression-compression (CCC) load combination with corresponding tests on normal concrete cube specimens (100 mm×100 mm×100 mm). The effect of intermediate principal stress on triaxial compressive strength is further examined. A “plastic flow plateau” area was apparent in principal compressive stress-strain relationships of lightweight aggregate concrete but not in normal concrete. A quadratic formula was suggested for the expression of strength criterion under triaxial compression.

Reviewer: Well done and very interesting research work. Well written and good quality analysis and interpretation. The presented manuscript focuses on the experimental and theoretical study of lightweight aggregate concrete under multiaxial stresses. Some cube and plate specimens have been tested in the study and the results have been reported. In addition a quadratic equation has been proposed in the Manuscript.----Editor
