I am modeling a concrete cylinder compression test (see attached). Loading is applied along z direction, and I am checking the sigma_33 stresses. I am having maximum signma_33 at the element centroid around 78 MPa (see attached graph). I don't get it why it is higher than the ultimate concrete strength of concrete (58 MPa).
Can you please help me understand why I am getting stresses higher than the ultimate stress of concrete that I have defined in the properties?
