description abstract | Fracture mechanics is very often employed in analyses of cracked structural components. We present here another technique that is based on the equivalence between a crack, its process zone, and a distribution of damage. It is a simplified method aimed at approximating the distribution of damage around an existing crack. This approximation is based on the analysis of localization with a nonlocal damage model. Finite-element calculations on a compact tension concrete specimen for several initial crack lengths are presented and compared with experiments. The method is shown to yield errors less than 20% on the prediction of the load reduction factor as a function of the initial crack length. The method is also extended to the prediction of the response of fiber-reinforced components with initial damage. The response of cracked fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) beams is computed and compared with the results of original experiments, where the loading conditions that created the initial crack are different from those leading to failure. | |
