			<description><![CDATA[<p>Dear all,</p><p>I performed uniaxial tensile tests on notched concrete cubes and now want to model them in ATENA. In the simulation, I apply a displacement and measure the resulting support reactions on the cube as well as the force at the point of applied displacement. These forces are equal in magnitude.</p><p>Unfortunately, after reaching the tensile strength, the force-displacement diagram remains constant at the tensile strength level and does not show the typical softening behavior expected for concrete.<br />What could be the reason for this?</p><p>Thanks for your help <img src="https://forums.cervenka.cz/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /></p>]]></description>
