Fracture and Size Effect in Concrete and Other Quasibrittle Materials is the first in-depth text
on the application of fracture mechanics to the analysis of failure in concrete structures. The …

We investigate the use of cohesive theories of fracture, in conjunction with the explicit
resolution of the near-tip plastic fields and the enforcement of closure as a contact constraint …

Fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) has gained increasing interest in recent years due to its
superior mechanical properties compared to plain concrete. The failure of it is a process in …

This paper focuses on the fragility-based seismic vulnerability assessment of retrofitted
multicolumn bridge bents. Fragility curves are developed to assess the relative performance …

Cracking is an important aspect of concrete behavior that considerably affects the overall
response of concrete structures. The initiation of cracks is governed by concrete tensile …

A hysteretic stress–strain model is developed for unconfined concrete with the intention of
providing efficient modelling for the structural behaviour of concrete in seismic regions. The …

Fatigue failure phenomena of the concrete structures under long-term low amplitude loading
have attractedmore attention. Some structures, such as wind power towers, offshore …

The behavior of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) under cyclic loading plays an
important role in prediction of SFRC structural response. This paper deals with the stress …

Constitutive formulations are presented for concrete subjected to reversed cyclic loading
consistent with a compression field approach. The proposed models are intended to provide …

The influence of temperature induced bond degradation on response of reinforced concrete
(RC) beams exposed to fire is presented. A finite element based numerical model is …
