AB  - Modeling of multiple cracks in concrete structures using available finite element packages is not a simple task. In this work, this complexity is simplified by transforming multiple cracks into an equiva- lent single crack or equivalent damage zone. Based on the global damage index, a method is proposed to rep- resent multiple cracks as an equivalent single crack such that both correspond to the same value of damage index. By correlating the fracture mechanics and damage mechanics theories through an energy equivalence approach, an equivalent damage zone corresponding to multiple cracks is obtained. A finite element analysis is performed to…
