A thermodynamic approach to constitutive modelling of concrete using damage mechanics and plasticity theory

Recent advances in computational mechanics have opened the potential of carrying out the analysis and design of concrete structures in a realistic manner with the use of nonlinear concrete models. This encourages the development of more capable and realistic constitutive models, based on a rigorous...
