Microscopic Multiple Fatigue Crack Simulation and Macroscopic Damage Evolution of Concrete Beam

Microcracks in concrete can coalesce into larger cracks that further propagate under repetitive load cycles. Complex process of crack formation and growth are essentially involved in the failure mechanism of concrete. Understanding the crack formation and propagation is one of the core issues in fat...
