Description
This book, written by an internationally acknowledged subject expert, is concerned with a leading edge topic of interest and importance, exemplifying well the relationship between experimental data, material characteristics and structural engineering in practice. Its purpose is to focus on the effect of size on the various factors that affect the performance of structures, for example crack initiation, as well the causes of such size effects. Although there was empirical evidence for such effects in concrete specimens, this topic was considered to be controversial until recent years, but has now been given the attention it deserves, largely due to the pioneering work of the author.
