Numerical investigations of discrete crack propagation in Montevideo splitting test using cohesive elements and real concrete micro-structure
Abstract
The paper is aimed at accurately predicting the discrete fracture process in concrete specimens under complex stress states in two dimensional (2D) simulations. Plain concrete specimens subjected to Montevideo splitting test (MVD) were used for consideration due to non-negligible shear stresses impact in this type of test. In order to reflect the heterogeneous nature of the concrete, the meso-structure of the samples was included in the numerical models. The concrete was modelled as a four-phase material consisting of a cement matrix with air voids, aggregates and Interfacial Transitions Zones (ITZ) between aggregates and cement matrix. The meso-structure was created on the basis of X-ray μCT image of real specimens. The analysis was performed using the finite element method (FEM) with cohesive interface elements in a quasi-static approach carried out by Abaqus. The results of the numerical simulations were compared with the values obtained experimentally in terms of crack patterns and force versus crack mouth opening displacement (CMOD) diagrams.
