Download or read book Fracture Processes of Concrete written by Jan G.M. van Mier and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-07-14 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite tremendous advances made in fracture mechanics of concrete in recent years, very little information has been available on the nature of fracture processes and on reliable test methods for determining parameters for the different models. Moreover, most texts on this topic discuss numerical modeling but fail to consider experimentation. This book fills these gaps and synthesizes progress in the field in a simple, straightforward manner geared to practical applications.
