Abstract

Based on the results of fracture mechanical and phenomenological investigations a new ma- terial law for concrete under cyclic tensile loading was developed. Its constitutive relations are based on a physically sound rheological-statistical model consisting of simple rheological elements. The verification of the model by means of a comparison between the results of numerical calculations and the correspond- ing experimental results showed a good agreement for various combinations of the decisive parameters.
