Fracture Mechanics: Application to Concrete
Also Known As:
ACI SP-118:1990 standard is a compilation of 13 papers that discuss the application of fracture mechanics in the context of cementitious materials and concrete structures.
The document is divided into two sections. The first section deals with the application of fracture mechanics to cementitious materials. It includes papers on topics such as the tensile failure in cementitious materials and structures, the fracture resistance of acrylic fiber reinforced mortar, and the fracture toughness of polymer concrete.
The second section covers the application of fracture mechanics to concrete structures. The papers in this section discuss various aspects of fracture mechanics in concrete structures, including evaluation of existing fracture models, inelastic constitutive relations for concrete, fracture mechanics and the concrete codes, size effect and ultimate load of beams under torsion, size effect in concrete structures without an initial crack, size-scale effects on the brittleness of concrete structures, shear resistance of reinforced concrete beams, shear strength of large reinforced concrete beams, and the compression stress-strain curve for design of reinforced concrete beams.
