Hypoelastic‐Perfectly Plastic Model for Concrete Materials
Publication: Journal of Engineering Mechanics
Volume 113, Issue 12
Abstract
A simple incremental constitutive model for concrete materials under a general three‐dimensional quasistatic loading condition is presented. In the present formulation, the variable moduli concept is used to treat the prepeak nonlinearity, followed by the perfect plasticity concept at and beyond the peak stress to capture the dilatancy behavior of the material. The proposed model is intended for the stress states of tension‐tension, tension‐compression, and compression‐compression with a low lateral stress less than The model predictions based on two popular failure surfaces are compared with some existing experimental results, and a good agreement is generally observed.
