Abstract: Because the observed size effect follows neither the strength theory nor the linear elastic fracture mechanics, the delamination fracture of laminate-foam sandwiches under uniform bending moment ...

Abstract: Concrete subjected to combined compressive stresses and temperature loading exhibits compressive strains, which are considerably greater than for concrete subjected to compressive stresses alone. This phenomenon is called ...

Abstract: The modeling of statistical size effect of concrete structures that fail at crack initiation is studied, with special attention to the interaction between the autocorrelation length and the size of the failure zone. The ...
