Size Effect and Design Safety in Concrete Structures under Shear

Description:

Safe design requires a valid mechanical model and correct probabilistic analysis. Concrete, which is an archetypical quasibrittle material, typically exhibits stable crack propagation in many types of failure. Therefore, a scientific approach requires analyzing concrete failure on the basis of fracture mechanics. One of the simplest ways to incorporate fracture...
