Developing damage models for concrete

Brož P., Novotný R.
pages 51 - +9p., full text

The aim of this paper is to characterize the recent methods grounded on damage and fracture mechanics, for the structural analysis of plain concrete and reinforced one. Both smeared and also localized numerical fracture simulations are contemplated to model the damage regions and the discrete cracks generating in loaded concrete elements. In dependence on the dimension of these members, eligible constitutive material laws may be postulated, extending from linear elasticity or viscoelasticity for large construction, to non-linear strain-softening or plasticity for smaller components. Special loading conditions are embraced if the use of fracture mechanics is proper, e.g., shearing, punching and anchorage pulling – out.
