Fibre-reinforced cementitious materials (FRC) have become an attractive alternative for structural applications. Among such FRC, steel- and polyolefin fibre-reinforced concrete and glass fibre-reinforced concrete are the most used ones. However, in order to exploit the properties of such materials, structural designers need constitutive relations that accurately reproduce FRC fracture behaviour. This contribution analyses the suitability of multilinear softening functions combined with a cohesive crack approach for reproducing the fracture behaviour of the FRC mentioned earlier. The performed implementation accurately simulated fracture behaviour, while being versatile, robust, and efficient from a numerical point-of-view.
