This book derives from the invited IUTAM Symposium in September 1993. The contributions discuss recent advances in fracture mechanics studies of concrete, rock,

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 fai

Understanding of failure of quasibrittle materials is of paramount importance in many engineering fields. This subject has become a broad and important field of

Despite tremendous advances made in fracture mechanics of concrete in recent years, very little information has been available on the nature of fracture process

The principal objective of this book is to relate the random distributions of defects and material strength on the microscopic scale with the deformation and re
