FraMCoS - 8 begins today!

The 8th International Conference on Fracture Mechanics of Concrete and Concrete Structures begins today in Toledo, Spain. Two members of the M3C4 team: Branko Šavija and Erik Schlangen will contribute with presentations. 


    The major topics for FraMCoS-8 are as follows:
  • Recent advances in fracture mechanics of concrete
  • Fracture and cracking behavior of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures
  • High-performance, high strength concretes and FRC
  • Advances in structural design codes
  • Structural monitoring and assessment
  • Repair and retrofitting, practical application
  • Durability and corrosion-induced cracking
  • Interface fracture and debonding phenomena
  • Constitutive relations, time-dependent effects, cyclic and fatigue behaviour
  • Brick masonry, concrete-like and quasi-brittle materials
  • Computational aspects in fracture mechanics of concrete
