- Abstract
In this paper, some available analytical models for the complete stress-strain curve for high-strength concrete (HSC) under uniaxial compression are examined and compared with experimental curves published in the literature. Based on these findings, a new analytical constitutive relation is proposed to generate the complete stress-strain curves for normal weight concrete subjected to uniaxial compression with a strength range of 60-120MPa. To demonstrate the validity of the model, comparisons are made with published experimental data for uniaxial compressive tests on high-strength concrete specimens. The present model is shown to give a quite good representation of mean behavior of the actual stress-strain response.
