Application of Continuum Damage Mechanics Approach for the Strength Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Constructions

Abstract:

Finite-element modeling of reinforced concrete structure fracture process was carried out using models of nonlinear concrete with damage accumulation. Mechanism of cracks initiation in reinforced concrete structures was ascertained and kinetics of cracks growing in concrete due to corrosion of rebars was obtained. Fracture processes of road bridge fragment and railway bridge ballastless bed under corrosion of rebars was simulated.
