Abstract:Taking into account the influence of the internal micro cracks on the strength and deformation of concrete, a fourphase composite material model was proposed, in which it included mortar, aggregate, interface and random defects. Mesoscale unit in concrete was subjected to elasticplastic damage constitutive of increments form in strain space. With the simulation of mesh concrete crack growth by damage elimination, the damage processes of concrete under 3D uniaxial compression and the elastoplastic damage process of concrete under uniaxial tension with heterogeneous specimen were obtained. It was shown that the proposed fourphase model added the simulation of random defects, with which it was more appropriate to the actual situation in concrete forming. The percentage of random defects in volume was the key to determine the weakening degree of macrostrength of concrete. The cracks occlusion was obvious for the lower homogeneous uniaxial tension specimen and the fracture was clearer for higher homogeneous specimen. The simulation results was in good agreement with test results.
