A new yield criterion for the concrete materials

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

The proposed yield criterion depends upon two material constants and is proven to be smooth and convex under a simple condition. These properties induce a mathematical robustness that allows a further use in a damage mechanics model. The analytical gradient and hessian are given. The obtained yield surface is relevant to Kupfer's biaxial testings on concrete. The identification procedure, with respect to the classical uniaxial tension and compression testings, is detailed.
