Moisture damage evaluation using energy based responses
Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2017 Monotonic Indirect Tensile tests were performed on asphalt concrete mixtures made of two different types of aggregates. Since the environmental condition is a determining factor in propagation of moisture damage, the effects of temperature and aging were

Ubiquitiformal fracture energy
Journal of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, 2017 The ubiquitiformal fracture energy is proposed in the paper and its explicit expression is obtained. Moreover, the numerical results for concrete are found to be in good agreement with those for the critical strain energy release rate. The discrepancy between the numerical results of the traditional fracture energy and the critical strain energy ...
