Abstract
A usual class of phenomenological “1 − d” damage models is revisited: starting from experimental observations showing that the Young’s and tangent moduli evolve linearly during a compression test on concrete, an appropriate expression for the damage threshold is obtained, which differs from the usual ones. The linear variation of the moduli with respect to the strain variation allows to simplify the incremental equilibrium equations and to improve the accuracy of the simulation.
