Magma transport in brittle rock occurs by diking. Understanding the dynamics of diking and
its observable consequences is essential to deciphering magma propagation in volcanic …

The article attempts a broad review of the problem of size effect or scaling of failure, which
has recently come to the forefront of attention because of its importance for concrete and …

The relation between the chemical composition of calcium–silicate–hydrate (C–S–H)
phases and its influence on the compressive strength of cementitious materials is …

Fracture and Size Effect in Concrete and Other Quasibrittle Materials is the first in-depth text
on the application of fracture mechanics to the analysis of failure in concrete structures. The …

This paper presents a study of the micromechanical behaviour of crushable soils. For a
single grain loaded diametrically between flat platens, data are presented for the tensile …

Understanding the size effect exhibited by the fracture mechanism of anisotropic
geomaterials is important for engineering practice. In this study, the anisotropic features of …

The existing fracture models for concrete and the testing methods for fracture energy and
other fracture characteristics are reviewed and some new results on the relationship …

This paper surveys the available results on the size effect on the nominal strength of
structures—a fundamental problem of considerable importance to concrete structures …

Hoover, Bazant and colleagues have published a number of papers in recent years (Bazant
and Yu, 2009; Yu, 2010; Hoover and Bazant, 2013a, 2013b, 2014) on comparisons between …

This article attempts to review the progress achieved in the understanding of scaling and
size effect in the failure of structures. Particular emphasis is placed on quasibrittle materials …
