In a large number of concrete structures and structural elements multiaxial compressive stress states occur. As is generally known, these stress states in general have an advantageous effect on the behaviour of the material, compared to the behaviour under uniaxial loading: the load bearing capacity increases and larger deformations are allowable. Unfortunately, this effect has not yet been implemented in the building codes, because there are too many unknowns to describe it in a useful quantitative manner. Therefore insight in the behaviour of concrete under this type of loading is important with respect to safety and deformational capacity of several kinds of concrete structures. At Eindhoven University of Technology (EUT) a research project was started in the early eighties to gain more insight in the failure behaviour of concrete in multiaxial compression. The research described in this thesis is to be regarded as a continuation of the work done earlier at EUT. It deals with several aspects of concrete behaviour in multiaxial compression that were not investigated before or from a different point of view, and intends to answer some remaining questions on the subject.
