Strain-Softening Simulations of Mixed-Mode Concrete Fracture

Rots, J. G. / Kusters, G. M. A. / Blaauwendraad, J.

Abstract Mixed-mode fracture in concrete is analysed using elastic-softening models and finite elements. Both a smeared crack concept and a discrete crack concept are deployed and emphasis is placed on the possibilities of these concepts for modelling stress rotations in fracture propagation problems. The example problems involve a CLWL-DCB specimen and a double-notched shear beam.
