| Summary: | "An understanding of the effect of structure size on structural strength and failure behavior is an important element in the study of the mechanics of materials and structures." "Examining this cutting-edge topic, this new edition of Scaling of Structural Strength explores size effects in quasibrittle materials including concrete fiber composites, tough ceramics and rocks, through experimental research, material modeling structural analysis and design." "Zdenek P. Bazant's pivotal theory has found wide application in all quasibrittle materials and this new edition will be of great value to those working and studying in the field of structural strength and solid mechanics."--BOOK JACKET. |
