Concrete as a Material
• Concrete is a QUASI-BRITTLE material. Ideally brittle
materials have no reserve strength after cracking.
However, concrete has a very small amount of reserve
strength – hence the name QUASI-BRITTLE.
• In the design of RC structures, concrete is mostly
considered as a BRITTLE material.

Failure in Unreinforced SS Concrete Beam
When a beam bends, there are
tensile stresses on one side and
compressive stresses on the
other. Because concrete is
“tension weak”, it fails in
tension. Note the brittle failure
of the beam. When the
concrete’s tensile limit strength
is reached on the bottom of the
beam, a crack propagates
through the entire cross-section.
Only one crack forms and that
crack causes failure.
CENG 6504 Concrete Structures 4
Mechanism of Cracking and Failure in
Concrete Loaded in Compression
Although concrete is made up of essentially elastic, brittle
materials, its stress-strain curve is nonlinear. This can be
explained by the gradual development of microcracking.
There are two types of microcracks:
• Bond cracks – occurs along the interface between

aggregate and paste


• Mortar cracks – those that cross the mortar b/n
pieces of aggregate

CENG 6504 Concrete Structures 5


Mechanism of Cracking and Failure in Concrete
Loaded in Uniaxial Compression
There are four stages in the development of microcracking
and failure of concrete under uniaxial compressive loading.
n Shrinkage of the cement paste – has little effect on the
integrity of the concrete at low loads and stress-strain curve
remain linear up to 30% of the compressive strength.
n When concrete is subjected short-term stresses greater than
30-40% of its short-term compressive strength, bond cracks
will develop. These cracks are stable and propagate only if
the load is increased. Any additional load will be
redistributed to the remaining unbroken interfaces. The
redistribution causes the gradual increase in the compressive
stress-strain curve.

CENG 6504 Concrete Structures 6


Mechanism of Cracking and Failure in
Concrete Loaded in Uniaxial Compression
n As the load is increased beyond 50 or 60% of the
ultimate, localized mortar cracks develop between
bond cracks. During this stage, there is stable crack
propagation. The onset of this stage of loading is
called discontinuity limit.
n At 75 to 80% of the ultimate load, the number of
mortar cracks begins to increase and a continuous
pattern of microcracks begins to form. The onset of
this stage is called the critical stress.

Uniaxial Strength of Concrete

Generally, concrete strength refers to the uniaxial


compressive strength as measured by the compression
test of a standard test cylinder. The standard
acceptance test for measuring the strength of concrete
involves short time compression tests on 6 in. dia. by
12 in. high cylinders made, cured and tested per ASTM
Standards C31 and C39.

CENG 6504 Concrete Structures 9


Uniaxial Strength of Concrete
Strength of concrete in a structure tends to be
somewhat lower than the strength of control cylinders
made from the same concrete. It is measured by cores
drilled from the structure. Corrections have to be made
to convert the core strengths to equivalent in-situ
strength by the following procedure.

f cis = f core ( Fl / d ´ Fr ´ Fdia )( Fmc ´ Fd )

Stress-Strain Curves for Concrete
Tangent and Secant Moduli of Elasticity
Frequently, the secant modulus
is defined by using the point
corresponding to representing
service-load stresses.
ACI defines the modulus of
elasticity of concrete as follows:
NWC : Ec = 57000 f c' psi
HSC : Ec = 40000 f c' + 106 psi

Stress-Strain Curves for Concrete
Normal-Weight Concrete in Tension
The stress–strain response of concrete loaded in axial
tension can be divided into two phases. Prior to the
maximum stress, the stress–strain relationship is slightly
curved. The diagram is linear to roughly 50 percent of the
tensile strength. The strain at peak stress is about 0.0001 in
pure tension and 0.00014 to 0.0002 in flexure. The rising
part of the stress–strain curve may be approximated either
as a straight line with slope Ec and a maximum stress equal
to the tensile strength f’t or as a parabola with a maximum
strain ϵ’t=1.8f’t/Ec and a maximum stress f’t.

Uniaxial Strength of Concrete
• The tensile strength of concrete varies between 8
and 15% of the compressive strength.
• The actual value is affected by the type of test, the
type of aggregate, the compressive strength, and the
presence of compressive stress transverse to the
tensile stress.
• Two types of tensile test are:
o Modulus of rupture or flexural test (ASTM C78 or

C293)
o The split cylinder test (ASTM C496)

Uniaxial Strength of Concrete
In RC members, beyond cracking, the stress in
concrete does not suddenly drop to zero because
the member does not simultaneously crack at all
locations, and concrete between cracked sections
still carries tension and reduces the steel strain.
This behavior beyond cracking is referred to as
tension stiffening effect. If bond stress
distribution is known, tension stiffening may be
estimated. Consider a concrete prism with a single
bar subjected to a tension force, T, as shown
below.

Uniaxial Cyclic Compressive
Behavior of Concrete
Low-Cycle Fatigue
Generally, it has been found
that the monotonic curve is an
envelope to stress-strain curve
under cyclic loading. A
representative stress-strain
curve for cyclic loads is shown
below. In this figure, common
points are where the reloading
portion of any cycle crosses the
unloading potion.

CENG 6504 Concrete Structures 27


Uniaxial Cyclic Compressive
Behavior of Concrete
Static Fatigue
If concrete is loaded to about 75% or more of its short-term static
strength, and if this load is sustained, the concrete will eventually
fail. This phenomenon is called delayed fatigue or static fatigue.
Unstable crack growths are attributed to this mode of failure.

Fatigue
Concrete may fail under repeated loads that are not large enough
to cause failure in a single application. The concrete strength
decreases with an increase in the number of cycles.
For this purpose, the modified Goodman diagram shown on next
page may be used. This diagram is based on the observation that
the fatigue strength of plain concrete is essentially the same
whether the mode of loading is tension, compression, or flexure.
CENG 6504 Concrete Structures 28
Uniaxial Cyclic Compressive
Behavior of Concrete
For example, consider a
structural element
to be designed for one
million repetitions. If the
minimum stress is 15% of
the static ultimate
strength, then the
maximum stress that will
cause fatigue failure is
about 57% of static
ultimate strength.

Strength under Biaxial and Triaxial
Loadings
The modes of failure for a number of different zones are:
• Biaxial tension – the strength is close to that in uniaxial
tension, as shown in Zone 1. Failure occurs by tensile
fracture perpendicular to the maximum principal tensile
stress.
• Tensile and Compressive Principal Stresses - When one
principal stress is tensile and the other is compressive, the
concrete fails at lower stresses than it would if stressed
uniaxially in tension or compression, i.e., regions A-B and A’-
B’. Failure occurs due to tensile fractures on planes
perpendicular to the principal tensile stresses. The failure in
this zone may be governed by a limiting tensile strain rather
than a tensile stress.
CENG 6504 Concrete Structures 32
Strength under Biaxial and Triaxial
Loadings
• Uniaxial Compression - Under uniaxial compression (also
points A and A’ and zone 3), failure is initiated by the
formation of tensile cracks on planes parallel to the direction
of the compressive stresses. These planes are planes of
maximum principal tensile strain.
• Biaxial Compression - Under biaxial compression (region A-
C-A’ and zone 4), the failure pattern changes to a series of
parallel surfaces on planes parallel to the unloaded sides of
the member. These planes are acted on by maximum
tensile strains. Biaxial (and triaxial) compression loads delay
the formation of bond and mortar cracks; therefore, the
strength of concrete under biaxial compression is greater
than the uniaxial compressive strength.

Strength under Biaxial and Triaxial
Loadings
If cracking occurs in
reinforced concrete under a
biaxial tension-compression
loading, and there is
reinforcement across the
cracks, the strength and
stiffness of the concrete
under compression parallel
to the cracks is reduced.

Strength under Biaxial and Triaxial
Loadings
Under triaxial loadings, the mode of failure involves
either tensile fracture parallel to the maximum
compressive stress and thus orthogonal to the
maximum tensile strain if such exists, or a shearing
mode of failure. The strength and ductility of concrete
under triaxial compression exceed those under uniaxial
compression.
Experimental studies show that the longitudinal stress at failure:

which the fracture process zone is modeled as a system of
parallel cracks that are continuously distributed (smeared) in
the finite element. The material behavior is characterized
by the constitutive stress–strain relationship. The width
of the fracture process zone (hc) is assumed to be
constant. For normal concrete it is assumed to be three
times the aggregate size.

Plasticity theory
In problems in which tension plays a significant role the usual
procedure nowadays is to apply plasticity theory in the
compression zone, and treat the zones in which at least one
principal stress is tensile by one of several versions of
fracture mechanics.

CENG 6504 Concrete Structures 43


Confinement
Mechanical properties of concrete were seen previously
to be strongly influenced by confinement provided
actively by externally applied pressures. However,
concrete can also be confined passively by transverse
reinforcement with many of the same effects observed
for concrete confined by pressure, i.e., increases in
strength and ductility.

CENG 6504 Concrete Structures 44


Confinement
Consider first a plain concrete
cylinder with a length to
diameter of say 3 to avoid
end restraint effects at the
loading plates. As load is
applied, the cylinder shortens
and it also tends to expand
due to the Poisson’s effect.
Initially, the Poisson ratio (ν)
is around 0.15 to 0.2.
When the stresses reach about 0.85 to 0.95f’c, internal cracking
increases significantly, thereby increasing the internal expansion.

Several models have been developed to simulate the


expected behavior of confined concrete. The most
commonly used models are:
• Modified Kent-Park (Park et al., 1982)
• Sheikh and Uzumeri (1982)
• Mander, Priestly, and Park (1988)
• Saatcioglu and Razvi (1992)

Time Dependent Volume Changes
Shrinkage - is the decrease in the volume of concrete
during hardening and drying under constant
temperature.

CENG 6504 Concrete Structures 61


Time Dependent Volume Changes
Shrinkage
• The ultimate drying shrinkage strain, for a 6-by-12-
in. cylinder maintained for a very long time at a
relative humidity of 40 percent ranges from 0.000400
to 0.001100 (400 to 1100 * 10-6 ), with an average
of about 0.000800.
• In a structure, however, the shrinkage strains will
tend to be less for the same concrete, for the
following reasons:

CENG 6504 Concrete Structures 62


Shrinkage
1. The ratio of volume to surface area will generally be
larger than for the cylinder; as a result, drying
shrinkage should be reduced.
2. A structure is built in stages, and some of the
shrinkage is dissipated before adjacent stages are
completed.
3. The reinforcement restrains the development of the
shrinkage.

CENG 6504 Concrete Structures 63


Shrinkage
The general expression for the development of
shrinkage strain in concrete that is moist-cured for 7
days and then dried in 40 percent relative humidity is:

t
(e sh )t = g rhg vs (e sh )u
35 + t
where (ԑsh)t is the shrinkage strain after t days of drying and
(ԑsh)u is the ultimate value for drying shrinkage.

CENG 6504 Concrete Structures 64


Creep
Concrete is an elastoplastic material, and beginning
with small stresses, plastic strains develop in addition to
the elastic ones. Under sustained load, plastic
deformation continues to develop over a period that
may last for years. This slow plastic deformation under
constant stress is called creep.
