Concrete has traditionally been known as a material used widely in
the construction of roads, bridges and buildings. Since cost
effectiveness has always been one of the more important aspects of
design, concrete, when reinforced and/or prestressed, is finding
more use in other areas of application such as floating marine
structures, storage tanks, nuclear vessel containments and a host
of other structures. Because of the demand for concrete to operate
under different loading and environmen tal conditions, increasing
attention has been paid to study concrete specimens and structure
behavior. A subject of major concern is how the localized
segregation of the constituents in concrete would affect its global
behavior. The degree of nonhomogeneity due to material property and
damage. by yielding and/or cracking depends on the size scale and
loading rate under consideration. Segregation or clustering of
aggregates at the macroscopic level will affect specimen behavior
to a larger degree than it would to a large structure such as a
dam. Hence, a knowledge of concrete behavior over a wide range of
scale is desired. The parameters governing micro-and macro-cracking
and the techniques for evaluating and observing the damage in
concrete need to be better understood. This volume is intended to
be an attempt in this direction. The application of Linear Elastic
Fracture Mechanics to concrete is discussed in several of the
chapters."
