Apply the Smeared Crack Approach

The smeared approach modifies the material stress-strain law. It does not introduce physical gaps into the finite element mesh. Tensile Cut-Off Configuration : Limits the maximum allowable tensile stress ( σ3sigma sub 3 σtsigma sub t ) in the soil or concrete matrix. Yield Condition : σ3≤σtsigma sub 3 is less than or equal to sigma sub t Failure State : When tensile stress reaches σtsigma sub t plaxis 2d crack
