Reinforced concrete is a composite structural material which has been the subject of extensive research since it was first used. When considering the rational properties, the research has mainly centred on the behaviour of the concrete, that of the reinforcing steel and the interaction between the s

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
In this paper a plastic damage model for nonlinear finite element analysis of concrete is presented. The model is based on standard plasticity theory for frictional materials. Details of the expressions of a new yield function proposed and of the evolution laws of the model parameters are given. The
A dynamic damage constitutive relationship for concrete in uniaxial tension is, with certain hypotheses, achieved through the constitutive model together with some performance tests of high rate deformation. The results predicted by the present theory agree pretty well with those obtained from exper
A significant increase of the permeability of concrete upon micro-cracking and a good correlation between the evolution of damage (material stiffness) and permeability are observed experimentally. The present contribution investigates this correlation theoretically, with the help of lattice analyses
