3-D-Modeling of Process Zone in Concrete by Numerical Simulation

  • Conference paper
Fracture of Concrete and Rock

Abstract

A new simulation method for the calculation of crack formation and crack growth in concrete has been developed at University of Bochum. The method uses a large number of struts in an equidistant lattic point as a mechanical model. In the process of numerical simulation microcrack opening and microcrack growing can be studied up to the totally collapsed system.
