Abstract

Nonlinear fracture behaviors of concrete materials are mainly caused by the cohesive stress along the fracture process zone. Based upon concrete fracture properties and the analytical model of crack with cohesive forces, two simple formulae concisely expressing the cohesive stress distribution are presented through analyzing characteristics of the cohesive force distribution function. One formula has only one undefined parameter. The other one has two undefined parameters. According to the superposition principle of deformation body, a formula for calculating the sole undefined parameter to control the cohesive force distribution function is deduced. Similarly, two algebra equations for solving the two undefined parameters also for controlling the cohesive force distribution are given. As a result, using the test data of crack opening displacement, the cohesive stress distribution is determined. The relevant calculation examples and discussions are given, too, in this paper.
