A Damage Mechanics Model for Concrete Subjected to Compression
this work, the crack propagation in concrete under uniaxial compression is described using a mathematical model based on damage mechanics. The pre-existing crack surfaces and fracture surface energ...
A Comparative Study of GF Test Results

Effect of Model Fracture Law and Porosity on Tensile Softening of Concrete
It is a common observation that existing stress concentrations like pores microcracks the cement paste-aggregate interfacial zone. The effect of these weaker links on softening behaviour was studie...

Applications of Fracture Mechanics to Anchors and Bond
Design methods for anchors and bond are compared to models based on fracture mechanics and test results. Size effect factors are beginning to be used in design methods but brittleness factors inclu...
