What is Fracture Mechanics of Concrete Analysis about?

This document discusses applying fracture mechanics concepts to model the behavior of concrete, which is treated as a linear elastic softening material. It presents a model of a cracked concrete plate where closing stresses are applied in the softening zone around the crack tips based on the Dugdale/Barenblatt approach. Experiments were performed to characterize the stress-strain behavior of concrete in deformation-controlled uniaxial tensile loading, and to investigate the effects of cyclic loading on the
