Concrete material parameters

gopal_rathore

Hi @George P Johnson

@Prakash Pagadala

I am trying to get the material parameters of the MAT_24 concrete through experimental testing. I am not able to get details of the parameters even through theory manual and thus want to understand two things:

1) Complete definition of notations like: ft,fb,fo, f2 , S0, Ht etc. 

Also for tensile are we looking for split tensile testing data or fleuxral tensile testing data

2) If any reference for material testing for these parameters

Hi Gopal,

 

For concrete materials, failure is much more rapid in tension compared to tension. Higher compressive strength makes tha ft/fc ratio small. The same goes with rest of the parameters.

 

I will check the rest and will get back to you.
