In the past few decades, extensive research on concrete modeling to predict behavior, crack
propagation, microcrack coalescence by utilizing different approaches (fracture mechanics …

The literature on concrete creep and shrinkage is vast and scattered over many media. A
host of books have already been devoted to this subject. Some are valuable compilations of …

The present paper deals with the combination of plasticity and damage applied to modeling
of concrete failure. First, the local uniqueness conditions of two types of combinations of …

The microplane model is a versatile constitutive model in which the stress-strain relations
are defined in terms of vectors rather than tensors on planes of all possible orientations …

The spectral approach is used to examine the wave dispersion in linearized bond-based
and state-based peridynamics in one and two dimensions, and comparisons with the …

The behavior of concrete structures is strongly influenced by the loading rate. Compared to
quasi-static loading concrete loaded by impact loading acts in a different way. First, there is …

This conference is the first in a series of conferences dedicated to Fracture Mechanics of
Concrete Structures. Due to the recent explosion of interest in research on fracture in …

This paper represents Part II of a two-part study in which a new improved version of the
microplane constitutive model for damage-plastic behavior of concrete in 3D is developed …

The experimental and theoretical studies show that the influence of loading rate on tensile
behavior of concrete is relatively strong. Dynamic tensile resistance of concrete is difficult to …

The behavior of concrete/reinforced concrete structures is strongly influenced by the loading
rate. Reinforced concrete structural members subjected to impact loads behave quite …
