Abstract | Tension softening and time-dependence of fracture are coupled phenomena and these have to be taken into account in order to identify the realistic behaviour of concrete. Tension softening behaviour of concrete is generally approximated to bi-linear diagram for simplicity. A thorough study is made of the applicability of this commonly used bi-linear approximation for the static tension-softening response of concrete to predicting its time-dependent response. It is found that the bi-linear approximation predicts a totally wrong creep response in the tertiary region close to creep rupture. The reason for this severe inadequacy is discussed. |
