This article attempts to review the progress achieved in the understanding of scaling and
size effect in the failure of structures. Particular emphasis is placed on quasibrittle materials …

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 …

Although the bond of a strand in a cementitious matrix is certainly predominated by the bond
properties between filaments and matrix, more detailed information is needed to evaluate …

In recent years many researchers developed analytical expressions to predict the bond
stress versus slip response and the bond stress distribution for different types of pull-out …

Size effect is studied here with reference to the bonding of short, deformed bars, embedded
in normal-strength concrete (NSC) and high-performance concrete (HPC). Tests on 48 …

This paper conducts a theoretical research into bond–slip relationship between ribbed steel
bars and concrete. According to whether the concrete is cracked or not, the ascending part …

A numerical solution routine is proposed, which provides a simple and straightforward
analytical method to evaluate the prevailing bond characteristics of a composite by means of …

Despite impressive advances, the existing constitutive and fracture models for fiber-
reinforced concrete (FRC) are essentially limited to uniaxial loading. The microplane …

The effects of reinforcing bar diameter and concrete compressive strength on the bond
behaviour of glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars were investigated. The primary …

Theoretical studies on pullout of an anchor from an anchor–adhesive/mortar–concrete
anchorage system have been carried out with the wide application of this anchorage system …
