Advanced Constitutive Modeling of Plain and Reinforced Concretes
Abstract
This report summarizes research conducted by S-CUBED to develop advanced constitutive models of plain and reinforced concrete for ultimate use in the cost-effective design and hardness assessment of concrete protective structures. The specific goals of the research are two-fold; namely, (1) development of a mixture theory which can accurately account for steel-concrete interaction and (2) formulation of an advanced constitutive theory for plain concrete which can accurately portray its nonlinear, inelastic behavior, including developing damage and macrocracking, for arbitrary loading histories. The importance of steel-concrete interaction and nonlinear inelastic behavior of the plain concrete, including cracking, is emphasized. The progress made toward achieving these goals is described.
