- Additional information
- A finite element concrete model should simulate multiple cracking, crack opening-closing, multi-axial crushing, and aggregate interlock in a numerically robust way. This research, resulting from a KPT partnership (KTP8380), presents a new algorithm for bringing together a set of model components for the aforementioned facets of behaviour, which achieves reliable and stable solutions. The model was implemented in the finite element program LUSAS, quality assured and released in commercial version 16. It has since been used on a wide range of commercial projects (See LUSAS Impact Case Study).
