A cohesive fracture model for predicting crack spacing and crack width in reinforced concrete structures
Engineering Failure Analysis（2022）
Abstract
•A cohesive approach to simulate crack propagation in RC specimens is used.•An embedded truss model to capture concrete/rebar interaction is used.•Crack width and crack spacing in RC structural elements are accurately predicted.•Comparisons with experiments show the effectiveness of the proposed fracture model.
