Fracture Mechanics of Concrete: Applications of Fracture Mechanics to Concrete, Rock and Other Quasi

An outstanding compendium of material distilled from over 20 years of research by the authors and other experts regarding the applications of fracture mechanics' concepts to cracking, damage and fracture of plain and reinforced concrete structures and masses. Contains advanced topics which are presently at the forefront of research activities such as usages at the aggregate/grain/paste level and correlations to macro-behavior. Includes a listing of commonly used formulas for stress intensity plus examples of failures and dependency on size of certain material properties.
