Investigation of mechanical behaviour of a quasi-brittle material using Karagozian and Case concrete (KCC) model

Investigation of mechanical behaviour of a quasi-brittle material using Karagozian and Case concrete (KCC) model

The mechanical behaviour of a quasi-brittle material, i.e. Pietra Serena sandstone, was investigated both numerically and experimentally in order to build a reliable numerical modelling system applicable to more complex cases. The Karagozian and Case concrete (KCC) model was exploited as the materia...
