Abstract:

The Continuous Surface Cap Model (CSCM) is one of the most widely used concrete models in LS-DYNA. The model is capable of capturing many important nonlinear mechanical behaviors of concrete well. The model has a built-in auto calibration procedure based on CEB-FIP code data. However, the built-in calibration procedure estimates material properties with significant errors, especially for tensile strength. Our study highlights the imperfection of the built-in automated material calibration procedure by the example of one-element uniaxial tension and compression tests. A calibration procedure is proposed, which significantly improves the accuracy of the material properties calculation: tensile and compressive strength and fracture energy. It is shown that the model with the proposed calibration procedure can describe the structure defamations and the fracture zone patterns more accurately.
