A 3-D finite element modeling for the textile-reinforced concrete plates under tensile load using a non-linear behaviour for cementitious matrix

A big question in the numerical approaches for the mechanical behavior of the textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) composite under tensile loading is how to model the cracking of the cementitious matrix. This paper presents numerical results of 3-D modeling of TRC composite in which the non-linear behavior model was used by considering the cracking for the cementitious matrix.
