Popis: Abstract A smeared crack model to represent cyclic concrete behavior is presented in this work. The model is based on analytical and experimental studies from the literature and proposes a numerical approach using a new concept, the generalized secant modulus. The monotonic formulation is described, followed by the changes to include the cyclic response, and the stress-strain laws to reproduce the hysteresis. Simulations adopting the proposed model were compared with experimental tests of cyclic tension and compression available in the literature, resulting in consistent load cycles. Three-point bending was simulated to display the structural response under non-elementary load. Finally, a reinforced concrete beam was studied to evaluate the model performance under usual loadings. The results show the model capacity to reproduce cyclic analyses and its potential to be extended to general loadings.
