Determination of Material Parameters of Concrete for Non-Linear Modeling

Within this paper an experimental investigation on basic material parameters as well as fracture mechanical properties for different concrete types is presented. In total four different concrete types were investigated. The results of this investigation serve as a basis for further numerical assessment with respect to (a) define suitable stochastic models for the material parameters and (b) to carry out non-linear finite element analysis incorporating the fracture process as well as crack propagation.
