Design, Assessment and Retrofitting of RC Structures is the
second volume of the Proceedings of the 6th International
Conference on Fracture Mechanics of Concrete and Concrete
Structures (FraMCoS-6, Catania, Italy, 17-22 June 2007), and is
divided into four parts: (1) Theoretical and Experimental
Investigation on the Mechanical Behaviour of RC Structures; (2)
Practical Problems in RC Structural Applications; (3) Monitoring
and Assessment of RC Structures; (4) Maintenance and Retrofitting
of RC Structures.
Fracture Mechanics is used to interpret different problems:
anchor fastening; plastic rotation capacity in RC beams; minimum
reinforcement and ductility. It is also relevant to questions of
size effect; flexural-shear-crushing failure mode transition;
cohesive crack modelling; and rebar corrosion. Traditional problems
arising in RC structures are also reconsidered and re-interpreted:
crack width evaluation; dynamic and impact loading; fire and
thermal degradation; fatigue strength assessment; as well as
punching and spalling. Monitoring and assessment issues in RC
structures come under discussion, such as acoustic emission and
ultra sound. Maintenance and retrofitting techniques are treated,
including the increasingly popular technique of fibre-reinforced
polymer sheets used as wrapping around cracked structures, for
example, to strengthen beams and columns.
The other two volumes comprising the Proceedings of the 6th
International Conference on Fracture Mechanics of Concrete and
Concrete Structures are: New Trends in Fracture Mechanics of
Concrete; and High-Performance Concrete, Brick-Masonry and
Environmental Aspects. They present a wealth of information, and
will be useful to professional civil engineers, postgraduate
students and researchers.
