Micro Abstract:
For complex loadings of concrete structures as earthquakes, cyclic and dynamic conditions must be taken into account. Therefore a simplified damage model which uses an equivalent strain in terms of invariants of elastically predicted stresses is developed. The model is introduced by two history deformation parameters related to the equivalent strain in order to describe unilateral behavior of concrete. Thus the model can simulate the distinct behavior of concrete under monotonic/cyclic loadings.
