Abstract:Concrete exhibits strain-rate sensitivity during dynamic tests. In this paper, the practical elastic plastic damage model for concrete under static loading previously proposed by the authors is extended to account for the concrete strain-rate through the viscous regularization of damage variables. Stiffness damp stress is introduced into the model to consider the energy dissipation at the material scale. Tension plastic strain is introduced to the model to relax the descending and damage development. The proposed model is developed in ABAQUS, the nonlinear analysis of Koyna concrete dam indicates that the stiffness damp can observably enhance the stability of nonlinear dynamic implicit analysis. The introduction of tension plastic strain can also improve the calculation effect, and strain-rate sensitivity can affect the displacement reflect of the structure as well as improve the numerical stability.
