Simplistic Damaged Plasticity Model for Vertically Oriented Planar Wall

Abstract

Studies on the nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete structures have already seen a substantial rise over the past few years. Many other mathematical models have been developed to study the behaviour of concrete as well as the reinforcements. Factors such as time dependence, inelasticity, interactive effects between concrete and reinforcement, also cracking were regarded. Cracking in tension as well as crushing in compression are basically two modes of failure in concrete. Material models have been proposed for monitoring concrete behaviour, as indeed the concrete damaged plasticity (CDP) model is a potential constitutive model. The method was generalized due to the complexities of CDP principle, and a simple concrete plasticity damage model has been created in this study. The model has been further categorized to simulate structural wall behaviour. All issues in the analysis related to the efficient implementation of a finite element are discussed. Through a software based on the finite element technique, a vertically oriented planar wall was investigated in respect of 3 distinct concrete grades M45, M35 and M25. The findings of the proposed model demonstrate better correlation with prior conducted experiment and assumption related to plastic hinge mechanism
