The Current State-of-the-Art in the Field of Material Models of Concrete and other Cementitious Composites

Abstract:

The topic of this paper is the short review of current state-of-the-art in the field of material models of concrete and its utilization for numerical analysis of concrete and prestressed concrete structures. The problem of compiling constitutive relations for numerical simulation of concrete structures is not yet closed. It is caused by different behavior of concrete in tension and compression. Due to formation and development of cracks it is necessary to describe material model of concrete in tension as precisely as possible. The paper aims to create a brief historical overview in this field and then aims to create a short summary of current approaches that were published in conference contributions and in journals during recent years.
