From the reviews:
“The book presents various nonlinear models of concrete fracture with definition of the corresponding fracture parameters. ... this comprehensive analysis of real behavior of concrete gives new findings in the systematization of results of different authors. The book will be useful not only to teachers and students concerning with the concrete fracture and related issues, but also to specialists incorporating the basic fracture principles into design standards.” (I. A. Parinov, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1215, 2011)"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
