Despite tremendous advances made in fracture mechanics of concrete in recent years, very little information has been available on the nature of fracture processes and on reliable test methods for determining parameters for the different models. Moreover, most texts on this topic discuss numerical modeling but fail to consider experimentation. This book fills these gaps and synthesizes progress in the field in a simple, straightforward manner geared to practical applications.

This design code for concrete structures is the result of a complete revision to the former Model Code 1978, which was produced jointly by CEB and FIP. The 1978 Model Code has had a considerable impact on the national design codes in many countries. In particular, it has been used extensively for the harmonisation of national design codes and as basic reference for Eurocode 2. The 1990 Model Code provides comprehensive guidance to the scientific and technical developments that have occurred over the past decade in the safety, analysis and design of concrete structures. It has already influenced the codification work that is being carried out both nationally and internationally and will continue so to do.

The main purpose of the research project reported herein was to determine the stress-strain behavior, ultimate strength, and failure mechanism of high-strength concrete subjected to biaxial compression. Model concrete plate specimens, composed of nine aggregate discs embedded in a mortar matrix, were used. Three different strength and elastic properties were used in order to determine the effects of material properties on the behavior of high-strength concrete subjected to biaxial compression. The plate specimens were tested using four biaxial stress ratios: 0 (uniaxial), 02, 0.5, and 1.0. Deformations in both the major and minor principal directions were measured using Direct Current Differential Transducers. Stress-Strain characteristics, discontinuity, ultimate strength and failure modes in biaxial compression as a function of materials properties are discussed.

In this volume on the mechanics of fracture of Portland cement concrete, the general theme is the connection between microstructural phenomena and macroscopic models. The issues addressed include techniques for observation over a wide range of scales, the influence of .microcracking on common measures of strength and de formability , and ultimately, the relationship between microstructural changes in concrete under load and its resistance to cracking. It is now commonly accepted that, in past attempts to force-fit the behavior of concrete into the rules of linear elastic fracture mechanics, proper attention has not been paid to scale effects. Clearly, the relationships among specimen size, crack length and opening, and characteristic material fabric dimensions have been, in comparison to their counterparts in metals, ceramics, and rocks, abused in concrete. Without a fundamental understanding of these relationships, additional testing in search of the elusive, single measure of fracture toughness has spawned additional confusion and frustration. No one is in a better position to document this observation than Professor Mindess.

Manual of numerical methods in concrete aims to present a unified approach for the available mathematical models of concrete, linking them to finite element analysis and to computer programs in which special provisions are made for concrete plasticity, cracking and crushing with and without concrete aggregate interlocking. Creep, temperature, and shrinkage formulations are included and geared to various concrete constitutive models.

This book forms the Proceedings of the International Conference held in Vienna in November 1992 dealing with ageing, fatigue and fracture of concrete and concrete structures. Special sections cover demolition and recycling, and anchorage engineering. As well as selected international contributions, five specially invited plenary papers are included from Austria, Spain, Japan, Denmark and Sweden.
