Full Description
Only relatively recently has the research community embraced fracture mechanics as the conceptual framework to capture the cracking of concrete. As many factors affect crack development and propagation, the complex subject matter is still being thoroughly studied from different angles to ensure effective applicability in practical scenarios.
With its gradually progressive pedagogical approach, Concrete Fracture Mechanics: Failure Analysis, Modeling, and Applied Examples of Reinforcement offers in-depth insights into concrete failure analysis from a technical standpoint (i.e., calculations, structural prerequisites, step-by-step guidance on key manufacturing processes, revision of conventional concepts in the light of new findings) and takes a step forward in modeling methods for predicting the performance and behavior of concrete structures by using cutting-edge software tools for image processing and numerical simulation. This results in holistic considerations about reinforcement techniques, originating from the author's own experience both at building sites and from academic research contributions, to maintain or optimize structural integrity.
This carefully thought-out, practical reference volume is intended to cater to students, researchers, as well as practicing professionals from a variety of closely interrelated civil engineering disciplines.
