- In contrast to competitor models, a particular feature of the model is that a single micromechanics based formulation is able to capture the fundamentally different macroscopic behaviour in tension and compression respectively, resulting in readily maintainable computer code. Moreover, the directional cracking approach provides a significant step towards the accurate prediction of micro and macro-cracking phenomena in fibre reinforced cementitious composites. The latter became the focus of an EPSRC funded project (EP/P033792/1). Such predictive capabilities available in a maintainable code attract strong commercial interest, as evidenced by the partial funding of the work by the FE company LUSAS.
