Abstract: ATC3‐06 placed strict limitations on the use of precast prestressed concrete piles in severe seismic regions. Two reasons contributing to the decision were the poor level of understanding of the curvature capacity of such ...

Abstract: The development of the fracture process zone associated with subcritical crack growth in a three-point bend concrete specimen with an off-centered, single-edged precrack was monitored with moire ...

Abstract: A nonlinear model for the fracture process zone (FPZ) that exists at the tip of a crack in concrete is developed through the interactive use of experimental data and finite element analysis of crack‐line‐wedge‐loaded ...

Abstract: A combined crack closure‐shear transfer model of the fracture‐process zone (FPZ) of concrete was developed through an interactive use of fracture‐test data and finite element analyses of crack‐line wedge‐loaded, double‐cantilever ...
