FRACTURE MECHANICS CONCRETE STR CL (RILEM Report 3)

This report explains how cracking, ductility and brittleness in concrete structures are influenced by dimensions and properties such as tensile strength, stiffness and fracture energy. It is concerned with the laws that govern the behaviour of materials and structures. Prepared by RILEM, an international union of testing and research laboratories for materials and structures, this report should be of interest to persons engaged in design, development, research and teaching in the field of concrete structures.
