A comprehensive investigation into the mechanical properties of ultra-high-performance
fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC), considering various influential factors, is imperative in …

This paper presents a discussion on the subject of fracture energy of concrete and effective
parameters. Therefore, it serves as an overview of the available approaches in determining …

The literature on concrete creep and shrinkage is vast and scattered over many media. A
host of books have already been devoted to this subject. Some are valuable compilations of …

This study investigates the size effect on the compressive strength of foamed concrete at the
mesoscale level combining X-ray computed tomography (X-CT) and a discrete lattice model …

Abstract The International Society for Rock Mechanics has so far developed two standard
methods for the determination of static fracture toughness of rock. They used three different …

Fracture and Size Effect in Concrete and Other Quasibrittle Materials is the first in-depth text
on the application of fracture mechanics to the analysis of failure in concrete structures. The …

With its combination of practicality, readability, and rigor that is characteristic of any truly
authoritative reference and text, Fracture Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications quickly …

The aggregate size plays an important role in the nonlinear mechanical behaviour of
concrete, which is strongly related to the size effect. In this study, the meso-mechanical …
