Elasto-Plastic Damage Behaviour of Concrete Elements presents the results of practical experiments with numerical analyses and case studies, along with a summary of basic theory, to provide an accessible explanation for young practising engineers on the performance evaluation of concrete structures.

It shows how the mechanical phenomena of familiar concrete structures can be expressed using mathematical models and provides a solid basic understanding of the nonlinear behaviour of concrete structures. It applies elasto-plastic theory to damage mechanics and the modelling of cracks in concrete, drawing on the author’s 25 years of design and construction experience as a professional engineer, as well as recent research.

- Sets out the reality of damage mechanics in concrete

- Connects standard theory with good design and construction practice

The book is suitable for structural design engineers and researchers.
