Abstract
AbstractThe present paper describes a simplified model for isotropic damage developed on continuum damage theory. The model characterizes the distinct behaviour of concrete in tension and compression using a unified equivalent strain, which governs the growth of damage. In reality, concrete exhibits distributed micro‐cracking pattern under multi‐directional loads. Therefore, the model is extended to incorporate damage induced anisotropy inherently for a reliable representation of damage, and captures the direction of possible damage evolution. Moreover, the model takes the inelastic behaviour of material into account based on the extended version of Lubliner failure criterion. The model is validated with experimental data.
