Abstract: A new constitutive model for interface shear in concrete is presented. The composite is treated as a single-phase medium with no distinction in the strength difference between the matrix and ...

Abstract: The boundary element application of a micromechanics based constitutive model for rough cracks previously developed by the authors is presented. This constitutive model considers the off-diagonal ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new constitutive model for interface shear in strain‐softening composites. The composite, in this case portland cement concrete, is treated as a single‐phase medium with no distinction in the strength ...

Abstract: The capability of rough cracks in concrete to transmit significant amounts of shear has been well recognized for the past few decades. In spite of extensive analysis and experimentation of interface shear, general constitutive ...
