Plain concrete failure

Submitted by HussamNasreddin on

Hello all,

 

I am trying to model concrete as an elastic material in ABAQUS. The model can be any simple structure (cube, beam or column) but the main feature is that concrete behaviour is elastic up to a limiting strain (St. Venant's theory). Which of the  Failure criteria in ABAQUS i should be using (Elasticity or brittle cracking)? if neither would you mind explaining other options?

Thanks

 Hussam
