A damage-plasticity approach to modelling the failure of concrete
A constitutive model based on the combination of damage mechanics and plasticity is developed to analyse the failure of concrete structures. The aim is to obtain a model, which describes the important characteristics of the failure process of concrete subjected to multiaxial loading. This is achieved by combining an effective stress based plasticity model with a damage model based on plastic and elastic strain measures. The model response in tension, uni-, bi-and triaxial compression is compared to experimental results. The model describes well the increase in strength and displacement capacity for increasing confinement levels. Furthermore, the model is applied to the structural analyses of tensile and compressive failure.
A model for damage analysis of concrete
The damage level in structures (global scale), elements (intermediate scale) and sections (local scale) can be evaluated using a single parameter called the "Damage Index". Part of the damage attributed to the local scale relates to the damage sustained by the materials of which the section is made. This study investigates the damage of concrete subjected to monotonic compressive loading using four different damage models -one proposed here for the first time and three other well-known models. The analytical results show that the proposed model is promising yet simple and effective for evaluating the damage of concrete. The proposed damage model of concrete with its promising characteristics indicated, appears to be a useful tool in the damage assessment of structures made of concrete.
Improvement and Enhancement of Concrete Damage Plasticity Model
2015
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to make an improved concrete damage plasticity model that focus on a post cracking behavior. First, we constitute the material model that simulates a process of closing the large tensile cracks and recovering the compression stiffness. Second, the model is enhanced by adding another feature that simulates a transition from compression to tension again. Finally, experimental simulation analyses are conducted for validation of efficiency.
Modification of Concrete Damaged Plasticity model. Part II: Formulation and numerical tests
MATEC Web of Conferences
A refined model for elastoplastic damaged material is formulated based on the plastic potential introduced in Part I [1]. Considered model is an extension of Concrete Damaged Plasticity material implemented in Abaqus [2]. In the paper the stiffness tensor for elastoplastic damaged behaviour is derived. In order to validate the model, computations for the uniaxial tests are performed. Response of the model for various cases of parameter's choice is shown and compared to the response of the CDP model.

Concrete damage plasticity (CDP) model is used to model the concrete damage through using ABAQUS software. Among several input parameters that should be defined in CDP model, the dilation angle (ψ), eccentricity parameter and tensile behaviour, have been identified as a significant influence on the finite element (FE) results for concrete modelling under static loading while limited studies examined these parameters for concrete subjected to impact load and high-strain rate. This study aims to focus on numerical modelling of impact-loaded concrete, examine and calibrate the above CDP model parameters using three-dimensional FE modelling. Several values of dilation angles, ψ, of 30 to 55 0 and eccentricity parameter of 0.1 to 0.2 have been used to capture the test behaviour. The model tensile softening behaviour was also investigated using three models, bilinear stress-strain, tri-linear stress-strain and stress-crack opening displacement. The FE results revealed that the value of dilation angle ranged 45-50 0 , the eccentricity parameter and tri-linear stress-strain model of tensile softening provided better correlations with test results in terms of displacement-time plots and cracking paths.
An improved calibration of the concrete damage model
The Concrete Damage Model that is implemented in the LS-Dyna code is capable of simulating the behavior of plain concrete under complex static and dynamic loading conditions. However, the values for the numerous parameters, which are required as an input, are left for the user to provide. In this study the Concrete Damage Model was calibrated for a wide range of strong concretes, using triaxialcompression-test data that were obtained from the literature. In contrast, the adjustment of the parameters of the present model is provided as a function of the unconfined compressive strength of the concrete. Although, not enough validation has been done either in higher pressures or in actual tests, it is evident that the presently calibrated model shows better agreement with published test results than the model currently available in LS-Dyna.
Evaluating damage scale model of concrete materials using test data
Advances in concrete construction, 2013
A reliable concrete constitutive material model is critical for an accurate numerical analysis simulation of reinforced concrete structures under extreme dynamic loadings including impact or blast. However, the formulation of concrete material model is challenging and entails numerous input parameters that must be obtained through experimentation. This paper presents a damage scale analytical model to characterize concrete material for its pre-and post-peak behavior. To formulate the damage scale model, statistical regression and finite element analysis models were developed leveraging twenty existing experimental data sets on concrete compressive strength. Subsequently, the proposed damage scale analytical model was implemented in the finite element analysis simulation of a reinforced concrete pier subjected to vehicle impact loading and the response were compared to available field test data to validate its accuracy. Field test and FEA results were in good agreement. The proposed analytical model was able to reliably predict the concrete behavior including its post-peak softening in the descending branch of the stress-strain curve. The proposed model also resulted in drastic reduction of number of input parameters required for LS-DYNA concrete material models.

A benchmark for the validation of an elastic plastic damage constitutive law in tension and in compression is presented. The aim is to propose, on a concrete example, an entire validation process including elementary (compression test), structural (reinforced bending beams) and pre-industrial tests that could be reused for further studies.
Concrete Damage Plasticity Material Model Parameters Identification
Journal of the Serbian Society for Computational Mechanics
The procedure for identifying concrete damage plasticity material model parameters is presented in this paper. Concrete damage plasticity material model represents a constitutive model which is based on a combination of theory of plasticity and theory of damage mechanics. This material model is often used in solving geotechnical problems due to its realistic description of mechanical behavior of concrete material. Theoretical basis of concrete damage plasticity material model and material parameters identification procedure are presented in this paper. Proposed identification procedure is applied on experimental data from uniaxial compression and tension load-unload tests taken from literature. By applying experimental data, stress-strain curve is created. Based on stress-strain load-unload curve, stress-plastic strain and stress-degradation dependences are created which are necessary for material parameters identification. Using these dependences material parameters are determined....
The paper deals with realistic modelling of concrete structures and material damage using nonlinear finite element method. Tensile and shear cracks or compressive crushing develop in concrete due to various reasons and can considerably influence resistance and durability of concrete structures. Numerical investigations have been carried out in order to analyze, predict and prevent concrete damage using nonlinear computer simulation based on advanced material models and finite element methods.
