Tension softening Curve for Modeling concrete in RC Beam?

09 September 2015 1 4K Report

Hi all, For Modeling concrete cracks, which tension softening model should i use? Exponential softening curve, Linear Softening curve, Hardijk softening curve or Brittle softening curve?

And what conditions should I consider while selecting the tension softening curve?

Thankyou

Ilesanmi O. OLOFINTUYI

Since concrete cracks depend on several factors that are not easily determined due to their discreetness, adoption of a softening curve that can combine and model these variables would be needed.
