EffectofTypeandVolumeFractionofAggregateontheFracturePropertiesofConcrete
Fine and coarse aggregates play a vital role in the fracture of concrete. There is however little quantitative information available in the literature on the effect of the volume fraction of the ag...
Mechanical modellingofAlkali-AggregateReactioninconcretestructures
Alkali-Aggregate Reaction (AAR) is difficult to model due to the random distribution of the reactive sites and the imperfect lmowledge of these chemical reactions. A new approach, based on a probab...
Rotatingsmearedcrackandorthotropicdamagemodelingforconcrete
Induced anisotropy and anelastic strains of concrete are modeled within the general framework of the anisotropic damage mechanics. For this purpose, anisotropic criteria are developed and allow to ...

Preface
FraMCoS). FraMCoS-II was held in Zurich, Switzerland, in 1995 under the presidency of F.H. Wittmann, while the third conference in the series was held in Gifu, Japan, in 1998. It was organised join...
FractureMechanicsofFibre-ReinforcedConcrete:MaterialModelingand ExperimentalTechnique
Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) is made of very fine matrix with short steel fibres. The bridging fibre action increase the stress carried across the crack. To optimise the mechanical behaviour, the...
