IA-FraMCoS is the global community of researchers and engineers dedicated to understanding damage, cracking, and fracture behavior in concrete and concrete structures.
IA-FraMCoS brings together researchers, engineers, and practitioners focused on the fracture mechanics of concrete—an archetypical quasibrittle material. Through our triennial conferences, workshops, and open-access proceedings, we advance both theoretical understanding and practical applications in infrastructure durability, structural safety, and materials innovation.
Our flagship triennial FraMCoS conferences bring together the global concrete fracture community. Since 1992, we’ve hosted 12 conferences across Europe, Asia, and North America.
Access over 1,800 peer-reviewed papers from all FraMCoS conferences—a comprehensive, searchable archive advancing concrete fracture research.
Open access to experimental datasets from major testing programs, enabling validation and advancing computational research.
Whether you’re a researcher, engineer, or student—connect with peers, access proceedings, and stay informed about upcoming conferences and workshops.
