v6.03.161 SSNP161 — Kupfer biaxial tests

Summary:

Kupfer [1] was interested in characterizing the performance of concrete under biaxial loads. Two of these tests are modelled in this test case in order to compare the experimental data with the results obtained with the Mazars model. Bi-compression and shear behaviors are studied in this test case.
