This paper addresses the effect of microcracking of concrete on its elastic response under cyclic loading. From the experimental point of view, the unilateral behaviour of damaged concrete is shown to be related to the change of the sign of the load. The experimental results of two particular tests

This paper deals with the buckling analysis of cracked beam-columns. The crack is modelled with a unilateral elastic bending-stiffness behaviour, represented by a unilateral rotational spring. This model takes into account the crack closure effect associated with the phenomenon of breathing crack. T
The paper describes some geometrical features of the degradation process of concrete specimens subjected to uni-and triaxial compressive loadings. The development of weak zones under larger aggregate particles during hardening of the concrete, leads to anisotropic stress-strain behaviour. By means o
