Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to study the method for determining the parameters of ABAQUS CDP model based on the concrete stress-strain curve provided by the code for concrete structure design. A finite element model was established to calibrate the value of the stress-strain curve cutoff and the damage factor of the concrete, and a calculation method of damage factor was recommended. The results show that the relative errors between first crack load, ultimate load and deflection at ultimate load with the experimental results were less than 5%. It is accordingly concluded that the finite element analysis results adequately reflected the experimental results.
