AB  - Inthisworkwesimulateexplicitlythedynamicfracturepropagationinreinforcedconcretebeams. In particular, adopting cohesive theories of fracture with the direct simulation of fracture and fragmentation, we represent the concrete matrix, the steel re-bars and the interface between the two materials explicitly. Therefore the crack nucleation within the concrete matrix, through and along the re-bars, the deterioration of the concrete- steel interface are modeled explicitly. The numerical simulations are validated against experiments of three- point-bend beams loaded dynamically under various strain rates. By extracting the crack-tip positions and the crack mouthopeningdisplacementhistory,atwo-stagecrackpropagation,markedbytheattainmentofthepeak load, is observed. The first stage corresponds to the stable crack advance, the second one, the unstable collapse of…
