Studies on the Modeling of Fatigue Crack Growth and Damage in Concrete : A Thermodynamic Approach
Fatigue in concrete is a complex phenomenon involving formation of microcracks, their coalescence into major crack and simultaneous formation of the fracture process zone ahead of the crack tip. Complex phenomena are best dealt through an energy approach and hence it is reasonable to use the theory...
