Parametric sensitivity of fracture behaviour of concrete

The fictitious crack method (FCM) is applied to determine the load-deflection diagrams of notched plain concrete beams under three-point bending using various forms of strain softening in the stress-deformation relationship. The results indicate that there is a need to determine a more realistic rel...

Description
Summary:The fictitious crack method (FCM) is applied to determine the load-deflection diagrams of notched plain concrete beams under three-point bending using various forms of strain softening in the stress-deformation relationship. The results indicate that there is a need to determine a more realistic relationship.
