Continuous and Discontinuous Modelling of Fracture in Plain Concrete under Monotonic Loading

  • Chapter
Continuous and Discontinuous Modelling of Fracture in Concrete Using FEM

Abstract

This Chapter presents the FE results of continuous and discontinuous modelling of fracture in plain concrete under monotonic loading. Tests of uniaxial compression, uniaxial extension, bending and shear –extension were simulated.
