      Multiscale Modelling of Concrete covers all things concrete, including comprehensive discussions on this multi-phase and multi-scale material that is difficult to model and understand due to its heterogeneity. Thus, knowing the properties and modeling concrete in different scales is essential to predict properties and fracture. Most of the research has been focused on meso scale, or the methods available to model and predict micro-scale properties are not linked to experimental methods, so properties for microscale cannot be derived and it is onerous to validate such methods.Considering the above constraints, the book covers different modelling techniques of scales of concrete - macro, meso, micro/nano and molecular level, characterizing mechanical properties and parameters required for modelling using macro and micro level experiments and linking these levels using analytical and numerical methods to upscale results from micro to the macro level.

      Only relatively recently has the research community embraced fracture mechanics as the conceptual framework to capture the cracking of concrete. As many factors affect crack development and propagation, the complex subject matter is still being thoroughly studied from different angles to ensure effective applicability in practical scenarios.With its gradually progressive pedagogical approach, Concrete Fracture Mechanics: Failure Analysis, Modeling, and Applied Examples of Reinforcement offers in-depth insights into concrete failure analysis from a technical standpoint (i.e., calculations, structural prerequisites, step-by-step guidance on key manufacturing processes, revision of conventional concepts in the light of new findings) and takes a step forward in modeling methods for predicting the performance and behavior of concrete structures by using cutting-edge software tools for image processing and numerical simulation. This results in holistic considerations about reinforcement techniques, originating from the author’s own experience both at building sites and from academic research contributions, to maintain or optimize structural integrity.This carefully thought-out, practical reference volume is intended to cater to students, researchers, as well as practicing professionals from a variety of closely interrelated civil engineering disciplines.
