A Simplified Concrete Damage Constitutive Model

Abstract:

In view of the limitation of seismic damage model for concrete structures with recent methods, based on Drucker-Prager constitutive model, with the concept of damage surface, Mazars concrete damage equation obtained by uniaxial test was extended to the triaxial state. Material stiffness damage degradation impact on the yield process of concrete yield surface was considered. Given Druker-Prager constitutive model adapted to the low friction angle soft clay type, the yield parameters threshold of yield surface is low that does not meet the concrete reality, draw double-shear strength theory, the strain threshold of double shear strain yield equation has been adopted, Modified damage threshold of uniaxial test strain damage equation. This paper developed a simplified concrete damage constitutive model in FLAC3D environment. The model is simple and easy to practical engineering applications, and the model has a certain accuracy. Try to explore a new constitutive model of concrete.
