6 Joint Model with Fiber Effects Considering a displacement vector at the interface (u): u // u = u. n = u. n axial displacement of the fiber (in direction n) transversal displacement of the fiber Consequently, the axial and angular fiber strains are given, respectively: ε = u l γ = u / l f // // / f The incremental stress-displacement relation can be expressed in compact form as: t & = E ep. u& Figure 1. Schematic configuration of joint crossed by one fiber with a general inclined angle. the stress tensor rate t& = [ & σ, & τ ] t constitutive tangent second-order tensor ep i ep f ep t f ep = ρ + g( ρ ) E f / l f + g( k ) G f / l f ( ) E C n n n n ρ # is a volumetric fraction of each component t

7 Zero Thickness Interface Model (Carol et al., 1997) As in Plasticity Theory, the relative displacement rate is decomposed into an elastic part and a plastic (cracking) part: a cracking surface, within the stress space, defining the stress level at which the cracks (in the joint element) begin; a flow rule giving an incremental crack displacement

32 Conclusions A numerical model based on the described interface elements has been presented in the present work. The model is particularly suited to model the stress-strain behavior of FRC in tension, capturing the fiber effect in bridging the crack opening, by means of two main mechanisms, such as bonding strength and dowel action in axial and transverse direction, respectively. Discontinuous interface approach is particularly suitable for mesoscale failure. The numerical simulations, presented in this work, may conclude that the constitutive proposals mainly capture the fundamental behaviors of fibrous concretes. Further are required.
