Abstract: | For the prediction of yield and failure of concrete under combined stress, a generalization of the Mohr-Coulomb behavior is made in terms of the principal stress invariants. The generalized yield and failure criteria are developed to account for the two major sources of nonlinearity: the progressive cracking of concrete in tension, and the nonlinear response of concrete under multiaxial compression. Using these criteria, incremental stress-strain relationships are established in suitable form for the nonlinear finite element analysis.For the analysis of reinforced concrete members by finite elements, a method is introduced by which the effect of reinforcement is directly included. With this approach, the stress-strain laws for the constituent materials of reinforced concrete are uncoupled permitting efficient and convenient implementation of a finite element program. The applicability of the method is shown on sample reinforced concrete analysis problems. |
