General question about concrete modeling

I know that the best solution for modeling concrete in ANSYS would be to use the Solid65 element with the concrete material model and its crushing and cracking capabilites.

However, I would like to know if there is a simplified alternative to perfom general basic calculations with, for example, PLANE182 (keyoptions plane stress with thickness) rather than only setting the Elastic Modulus and the Poisson coefficient of concrete.

In fact, something to start with in a 2D problem (shear walls).

Thank you!
