This volume is a collection of the papers given at the workshop on Fracture Scaling, held at the University of Maryland, USA, 10-12 June 1999, under the sponsorship of the Office of Naval Research, Arlington, VA, USA.
These papers can be grouped under five major themes:

• Micromechanical analysis
• Size effects in fiber composites
• Scaling and heterogeneity
• Computational aspects and nonlocal or gradient models
• Size effects in concrete, ice and soils
.
This workshop is the resu...
