ABAQUS model of SHCC slab. (a) Grid division and constraints: the SHCC slab. (b) SHCC slab loading simulation. (c) Trilinear constitutive model. ft (tensile initial crack strength) = 2.0 MPa, ɛt (tensile initial strain) = 0.0065, fsc(corresponding stress in fracture saturation) = 2.35 MPa, ɛsc (corresponding strain in fracture saturation) = 0.0164, ftu(extreme tensile strength) = 3.528 MPa, and ɛtu (extreme tensile strain) = 0.02455.
