The purpose of this study is to obtain the relationship between the internal failure mechanism and the whole deformational property of concrete specimens in uni-axial compression. As one of the methods to obtain such relationship, a numerical simulation analysis seems to be effective. In the present study, the finite element method was employed and a concrete specimen was divided into finite elements. Each finite element represents one of the failure patterns when its stress condition was satisfied in the element. The accumulated behavior of finite elements under increasing loading was discussed.
The macroscopic numerical result showed good simulation of the behavior of concrete specimens. It gave valuable informations about the effects of material constants on the stress-strain relationship of concrete specimens.
