The response of concrete under tensile loading is crucial for most applications because concrete is much weaker in tension than in compression. Understanding the response mechanisms of concrete under tensile conditions is therefore key to understanding and using concrete in stru…
This book looks in depth at the properties and behaviour of concrete under tension, a phenomenon that can cause catastrophic failure of concrete structures if it is not properly factored into the design stage. Tension is the opposite force to compression. Most concrete structure…
