Overview
This book describes the most recent computational approaches, based on fracture mechanics, for the structural analysis of concrete and reinforced concrete. Both smeared and localized numerical fracture models which simulate damage zones and discrete cracks developing in loaded concrete members are considered. Particular loading conditions are also discussed where the use of fracture mechanics is appropriate.Editorials

Twelve contributions on modelling and analysis techniques related to rock fractures are presented here by Aliabadi (engineering, Queen Mary College, U. of London). The range of topics encompasses hydraulic fracturing, blasting and fragmentation, transport problems, and creep. Specific topics treated include the application of different integral equation methods, large scale analysis, the optimization of drilling tools, and microcrack induced damage.
