Fracture Mechanics Applications in Concrete
Also Known As:
The ACI SP-300:2015 standard contains a collection of papers presented during a session sponsored by ACI technical committee 446 at the Spring Convention in 2012. The focus of these papers is on the implementation of fracture mechanics techniques in various applications related to concrete.
The topics covered in the papers include the application of fracture mechanics to fiber-reinforced concrete, fiber-reinforced polymers, bonding, large structures, beam shear, pavements, and concrete deterioration. The papers also compare modeling results with experimental tests where applicable, providing a comprehensive analysis of the subject matter.
The table of contents of the standard lists the titles of the individual papers included in the publication, providing an overview of the specific topics covered. These include topics such as quantifying the energy release rate for interface fracture, simulated fracture in concrete composite pavements, determination of total fracture energy for fiber-reinforced concrete, back-calculation procedure for flexural fracture tests, mechanics-based modeling of strength distribution, the role of fracture mechanics in reliability analyses, shear strength of reinforced concrete beams, size dependence prediction of ultimate shear strength of RC deep beams, and shear response of reinforced concrete deep beam validation.
