This book focuses on the problems related to a comprehensive treatment of mechanics of fracture of quasi-brittle materials, such as ceramics, concrete and some rock. Experimental treatment of fracture process zone using laser holographic interferometry and infrared thermography as well as theoretical treatment of nonlinear fracture mechanics are discussed in detail. In addition, numerical simulations of strain softening, discrete cracks, and smeared cracks are presented. Models for quasi-static and dynamic fluid-driven cracks in jointed rocks are described. Mathematical treatment and...

FRACTURE MECHANICS OF CONCRETE AND ROCK

This book offers engineers a unique opportunity to learn, from internationally recognized leaders in their field, about the latest theoretical advances in fracture mechanics in concrete, reinforced concrete structures, and rock. At the same time, it functions as a superb, graduate-level introduction to fracture mechanics concepts and analytical techniques.

Reviews, in depth, the basic theory behind fracture mechanics
* Covers the application of fracture mechanics to compression failure, creep, fatigue, torsion, and other...

This volume sets out to present recent research findings on the applications of fracture mechanics to concrete structures. Papers from international contributors describe existing and new modelling techniques in the analysis of concrete materials and structures. Topics discussed include structural modelling, bending, shear, bond and anchorage.
