The study of fracture mechanics of concrete has developed in recent
years to the point where it can be used for assessing the
durability of concrete structures and for the development of new
concrete materials. The last decade has seen a gradual shift of
interest toward fracture studies at increasingly smaller sizes and
scales. Concrete Fracture: A Multiscale Approach explores fracture
properties of cement and concrete based on their actual material
structure. Concrete is a complex hierarchical material, containing
material structural elements spanning scales from the nano- to
micro- and meso-level. Therefore, multi-scale approaches are
essential for a better understanding of mechanical properties and
fracture in particular. This volume includes various examples of
fracture analyses at the micro- and meso-level. The book presents
models accompanied by reliable experiments and explains how these
experiments are performed. It also provides numerous examples of
test methods and requirements for evaluating quasi-brittle
materials. More importantly, it proposes a new modeling approach
based on multiscale interaction potential and examines the related
experimental challenges facing research engineers and building
professionals. The book's comprehensive coverage is poised to
encourage new initiatives for overcoming the difficulties
encountered when performing fracture experiments on cement at the
micro-size/scale and smaller. The author demonstrates how the
obtained results can fit into the larger picture of the material
science of concrete-particularly the design of new high-performance
concrete materials which can be put to good use in the development
of efficient and durable structures.
