An isotropic damage model to simulate collapse in reinforced concrete elements

A damage model with different failure surface in tension and compression is formulated, implemented and validated to study reinforced concrete elements under actions which induce their collapse. The constitutive behaviour of concrete considers the softening deformation after reaching a failure surfa...
