[tab] [content title="Summary"] Concrete has long been recognized as a widely used material in the construction of roads, bridges, and buildings. Due to its cost-effectiveness, concrete—especially when reinforced or prestressed—has found increasing applications in areas such as floating marine structures, storage tanks, nuclear containment vessels, and various other structures. As concrete is required to perform under a variety of loading and environmental conditions, there has been growing interest in studying the behavior of concrete specimens and structures. A major concern in this research is the impact of localized segregation of concrete’s constituents on its overall behavior. The extent of non-homogeneity, influenced by material properties and damage caused by yielding and/or cracking, depends on factors such as the scale of the structure and the rate of loading. For example, segregation or clustering of aggregates at the macroscopic level will have a more significant effect on the behavior of a concrete specimen than on a larger structure like a dam. Consequently, a comprehensive understanding of concrete behavior across different scales is crucial. The parameters governing both micro- and macro-cracking, as well as the techniques for evaluating and observing concrete damage, need to be better understood. This volume aims to address these issues, with several chapters exploring the application of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics to concrete, offering insights into its behavior and providing a foundation for future studies.
