Abstract

The use of results of non-linear fracture mechanics in the design of plain concrete pipes is discussed. Several computational results obtained by the fictitious crack model are indicated. The results are compared to tests and to other theories: linear elastic brittle theory, plastic theory and Weibull theory.
