Journal ArticleDOI
Why Continuum Damage is Nonlocal: Micromechanics Arguments
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the microcracks are of such size, density, and arrangement that they do not interact and the release of stored energy caused by the formation of one microcrack is calculated as a function of the associated relative displacement across the cell.
Journal ArticleDOI
The chunnel fire. I: Chemoplastic softening in rapidly heated concrete
TL;DR: In this article, a macroscopic material model for rapidly heated concrete is developed, which accounts explicitly for the dehydration of concrete and its cross-effects with deformation (chemomechanical couplings) and temperature (chemothermal couplings).
Journal ArticleDOI
Size Effect in Fatigue Fracture of Concrete
Zdenek P. Bazant,Kangming Xu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the size-adjusted Paris law is combined with size-effect law for fracture under monotonic loading, which leads to a size adjusted Paris law, which gives the crack length increment per cycle as a power function of the amplitude of size adjusted stress intensity factor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plastic-Fracturing Theory for Concrete
Zdenek P. Bazant,Sang Sik Kim +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an incremental plasticity and fracturing (microcracking) material theory is combined to obtain a nonlinear triaxial constitutive relation that is incrementally linear, and failure envelopes are obtained from the constitutive law as a collection of the peak points of the stress strain response curves.
