Kanda & Li 2006 - Practical design criteria for saturated pseudo strain hardening behavior in ECC

Citation

Kanda, T., Li, V.C. (2006). Practical design criteria for saturated pseudo strain hardening behavior in ECC. Journal of Advanced Concrete Technology, 4(1), 59–72.

Atlas role

• Foundational paper for practical pseudo strain-hardening, PSH, criteria.
• Key source for robustness margins used in Victor Li book Chapter 2.
• Directly linked to Victor Li book Chapter 2 references, Ref. 10.

Why it matters

Victor Li book Chapter 2 states that theoretical ratios exceeding unity are not sufficient in practice because ECC contains material variability. The extracted text reports robust tensile strain-hardening criteria of approximately σ_o/σ_fc > 1.3 and J_b0/J_tip > 2.7, attributed to experimental data and connected to this practical design criteria paper.

• Exact notation for PSH strength index.
• Exact notation for PSH energy index.
• Basis for threshold values such as 1.3 and 2.7.
• Whether criteria are for saturated PSH or general strain-hardening.
