Direct Tensile Performance of UHPCC Element Based on Damage Mechanics

Article Preview

Abstract:

Direct uniaxial tension test of ultra high performance cementitious composites I shape specimens have been investigated in this paper. A nonlinear analytical model based on continuum damage mechanics is developed to characterize tensile stress-strain constitutive response of UHPCC. Basic governing equations of damage evolution and material constitutive relation are established considering random damage which conforms to a modified Weibull type distribution proposed in this paper. Calculation suggests that Weibull distribution can describe damage evolution of UHPCC and predict the constitutive relation and damage evolution equation.
