Abstract

This communication reports on the nonlinear analysis of 2D concrete structures using an hybrid-mixed stress formulation and continuum damage mechanics. The finite element model adopted is based on the direct and independent approximation of three fields: the stress and displacement fields in the domain of each element and the displacement field on the static boundary. The nonlinear behavior of the material is modelled using both a local and nonlocal isotropic damage model. Two numerical examples are presented to illustrate and validate the use of such numerical technique.
