DEFINITION AND APPLICATION OF A COHESIVE CRACK MODEL ALLOWING IMPROVED PREDICTION OF THE FLEXURAL CAPACITY OF HIGH-PERFORMANCE FIBRE-REINFORCED CONCRETE PAVEMENT MATERIALS

Definition and application of a cohesive crack model allowing improved prediction of the flexural capacity of high-performance fibre-reinforced concrete pavement materials

In conventional concrete pavement design methods the design parameters are determined using linear elastic analysis.Concrete is subject to significant size effect and as a result linear elastic design concepts, such as the modulus of rupture determined for a beam, have limited reliability in the design of elements of different size and geometry.The
