Description and Table of Contents

Description

Understanding of failure of quasibrittle materials is of paramount importance in many engineering fields. This subject has become a broad and important field of considerable mathematical complexity, with many competing models and unsolved problems. Attention in this volume focuses on concrete, rock, masonry, toughened ceramics, ice and other quasibrittle materials characterized by the development of large zones of cracking or other microstructural damage, and its localization into major fractures.

Table of Contents

Continuum-based theories. Discrete crack models. Dynamic aspects and rate effect. Effects of size or scale. Numerical methods. Experimental techniques. Concrete, rock, masonry and ice. Reinforced concrete. Fiber and matrix composite. Index.
