Fracture Mechanics Test Methods For Concrete / editors, Surendra Shah, Alberto Carpinteri. - First edition. - 1 online resource

chapter 1 Notched beam test: Mode I fracture toughness -- chapter 2 Fracture properties of concrete as determined by means of wedge splitting tests and tapered double cantilever beam tests -- chapter 3 Mixed-mode crack propagation in concrete -- chapter 4 Loading rate, temperature and humidity effects -- chapter 5 Fracture process zone detection -- chapter 6 Laser interferometry methods.

"Compares currently used methods in determining concrete toughness and presents recommended test procedures with theories and models for describing cracking and fracturing phenomena. Effects of loading rate, temperature and humidity are also examined. Well referenced and illustrated, this book is filled with practical technical information for materials and structural engineers."--Provided by publisher.
