| Abstract | An elasto-plastic damage model with rate effects was developed for concrete and implemented into LS-DYNA, a commercially available finite element code. This manual documents the theory of the concrete material model, describes the required input format, and includes example problems for use as a learning tool. A default material property input option is provided for normal strength concrete. The model was developed for roadside safety applications, such as concrete bridge rails and portable barriers impacted by vehicles, but it should also be applicable to other dynamic applications. The companion report to this manual is entitled Evaluation of LS-DYNA Concrete Material Model 159, FHWA-HRT-05-063. |
