The concrete damaged plasticity model in Midas:

• provides a general capability for modeling concrete and other quasi-brittle materials in all types of structures
(beams, trusses, shells, and solids);
• is designed for applications in which concrete is subjected to monotonic, cyclic, and/or dynamic loading
under low confining pressures;
• can apply a different yield strengths in tension and compression
• can consider a degradation effect of different elastic strengths in tension and compression

Concrete damaged plasticity models in Midas were developed based on the model proposed by
Lubliner (1989) and Lee&Fenves (1998).
