β¦ Synopsis
The present paper proposes a constitutive theory for concrete based on the geometry of its mesostructure and the actual kinetics of the microcrack evolution. The only material parameters used within the context of the proposed formulation are those associated with the elastic, macroscopic response and the critical stress intensity factors of the constituent phases. The model allows for a rational determination of the response in function of the volume fraction of the coarse aggregate, sieving curve, distribution and size of initial defects, relative strengths of the cement and aggregate, etc.

A new plastic-damage constitutive model for cyclic loading of concrete has been developed for the earthquake analysis of concrete dams. The rate-independent model consistently includes the effects of strain softening, represented by separate damage variables for tension and compression. A simple sca
An orthotropic damage model for concrete at different temperatures is presented in this paper. It also considers the unilateral effect of concrete in a three-dimensional problem. An uniaxial compression experiment at different temperaturb is made successfully. This model corresponds well to the expe
Estimation of the stress-strain relationship for concrete in uniaxial tension is done by means of a semiempirical damage model. The damage is a measure of the relative portion of pores and cracks in the material. The model is related to stress-strain curves published by Evans and Marathe (3). ##
