FE analysis of a coupled energetic-statistical size effect in plain concrete beams with varying material properties
2016
The numerical FE investigations of a coupled energetic-statistical size effect in
unnotched concrete beams of similar geometry under quasi-static three point bending were
performed within elasto-plasticity with non-local softening. The stochastic FE analyses were carried
out with three different beam sizes. Deterministic calculations were performed with the uniform
distribution of a uniaxial tensile strength. In statistical calculations cross-correlated random fields
were used to describe the spatial fluctuation of material randomness. Stochastic simulations were
made with varying uniaxial tensile strength, initial fracture energy and elastic modulus. The effect
of independently and simultaneously varying material parameter was investigated.
