Abstract
In this paper, a simplified uniaxial constitutive model in both tension and compression for the steel fiber reinforced high strength/high ductility cementitious composite is developed. The proposed model is formulated according to experimental results and matches the empirical measurements within allowable deviation. Furthermore, finite element method analysis employing the proposed model is carried out and the predictions are compared with the experimental observations. The model is found in relatively good agreement with experiments, indicating that it can be used as a reliable tool for predicting the response of structures with the objective cementitious composite.
