Stress-Strain Cuver for Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete

Post by mattroidena1 »

Hello everyone,
I want to model the behavior of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) that has more ductility than normal concrete. So that, the descending part of the stress - strain curve of SFRC should go down gradually than the normal one. But I tried all the concrete class available in OpenSees, there is no one could be considerable. So does anyone know how to make a modification for these class in this case? Please help me to do it.
I am really appreciated any feedback for my problem, thank you!

if none exists and you cannot make it using existing materials in series or pararlell with other materials you are ging to have to write some code. take a simple model that is close to what you want, understand it and then modify it. They key word is SIMPLE. Some of the uniaxial materials can be overly complex.

Dear mattroidena1,

I too need to model SFRC in opensees. Can u share me the material model u used and any other supporting info ?

I will be very appreciated,

Regards
