Abstract:
The strength of concrete materials can be described by the theory of generalized non-linear strength with four independent parameters. The failure surface of the strength criterion in the principal-stress space is smooth, and therefore it has continuous partial derivatives. The theory of generalized nonliner strength is applied as a yield function, and the plastic shear strain is applied as hardening parameter. The relationship between shear stress and plastic shear strain is split up into two function, in which one concerning the hardening and one concerning the softening. On the basis of these assumptions, a three-dimensional elastic-plastic constitutive model for concrete is established in the study. The present theoretical results are comparable to the available material-test data, this indicates that the developed constitutive model is capable of describing the strength and deformation behaviors, also the strain softening behaviors of concrete. Furthermore, the model is applicable to simulate concrete structures under multi-dimensional non-linear stress, providing a basis reference for structural design and analysis.
