❖ Three-point bending tests are simulated using Concrete damage plasticity model (CDPM) with FEM. ❖ CDPM is enhanced with crack band approach to prevent mesh dependency. ❖ Energy release rate is obtained by using J-integral approach. ❖ CDPM can capture experimental results as well as size effect law of Bazant. ❖ For future study, size effect analysis with CDPM under dynamic loading will be investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
