The complete formulations for both the bond-slip and dowel action hascompletely been detailed in Chapters 3 and 4.8.6 Numerical analyses about the material failureThis section presents the main features and capabilities of the proposed formulationscomparing some numerical results against experimental data available in literature.In order to evaluate the numerical stability of the aforementioned formulation, thefollowing simulation cases are analyzed in this section:• uniaxial tension, and• simple shear.Particularly, the schematized test cases reported in Figure 8.8, considering a 1.0cmedgecubic sample under plane stress con<strong>di</strong>tion, are considered.8.6.1 Tensile testsComparison with experimental dataNumerical pre<strong>di</strong>ctions carried out in both plain and Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete(SFRC), by adopting the proposed microplane formulation for analyzing tensile testcases, are presented in this section. The comparisons between model pre<strong>di</strong>ctions165
