Resumo

The use of ultra-high-performance fibre-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) has significantly increased in the recent years. However, the accurate mechanical behaviour modelling of this complex material is still a challenge in the present. Because the materials high load-bearing capacity and the presence of fibbers, this type of problem experiments large displacements before the failure. In this study, the material damage description has been performed by the Extended Lumped Damage Mechanics. Additionally, an approach based on the nodal positions of the Finite Element Method has been utilised, which makes the formulation geometrically exact. Thus, this study evaluates the failure of structures composed of UHPFRC, accounting for the effects of material and geometric nonlinearities computed by the Extended Lumped Damage Mechanics and the Finite Element Method based on positions, respectively.
