State of the Art on Constitutive Law of Continuum Concrete
By Ryoichi Sato

Concrete Journal,Vol.35,No.4,April 1997


Synopsis
This paper summarizes the previous studies on nonlinear behaviors of as well as constitutive models of continuum concrete.First,volume change,elasticity,plastic deformation,damage are conceptually illustrated relating to stress-strain relationship, including the confinement effect.Next,isotropic nonlinear elasticity models,orthtropic hypoelasticity models,elasto-plastic models and plasticity-damage models are explained systematically.
Keywords:
continuum concrete,constitutive law,nonliner elasticity,hypoelasticity,elasto-plasticity, plasticity-damage
