Multi-Scale Modeling of Structural Concrete

by Koichi Maekawa, Tetsuya Ishida, Toshiharu Kishi

Overview

Increases in computer power have now enabled engineers to combine materials science with structural mechanics in the design and the assessment of concrete structures. The techniques developed have become especially useful for the performance assessment of such structures under coupled mechanistic and environmental actions. This allows effective man
