Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study the consequences of the composite nature of concrete. A plausible energy balance equation is postulated and the Green-Rivlin invariance principle is applied to it to derive the linear and angular momentum balance laws. General constitutive equations are discussed with the aid of thermodynamic potentials and Coleman's method. The distribution of the applied stresses between mortar and aggregate is also studied in detail, showing for instance that substantial tensile lateral stresses may appear in mortar under uniaxial compressive loading. These results are used to derive a criterion for the onset of inelasticity in concrete.
