Fracture and damage mechanics of concrete under compression. (English) Zbl 0858.73067

Summary: The crack propagation in concrete under uniaxial compression is described using a model based on damage mechanics. The pre-existing crack surfaces and fracture surface energies of concrete are calculated by means of the proposed model. The model is applied to the available test results showing a good agreement between calculated values and experimental data.
