Concrete Fracture Mechanics

Concrete Fracture Mechanics by Moosa Mazloom is a rigorous, practical guide that brings clarity to the complex behavior of cracking in concrete — essential reading for structural and civil engineers, researchers, and advanced students.

From the first page you’ll be drawn into a clear explanation of fracture fundamentals, crack propagation mechanisms, and how microstructure influences macroscopic failure. Mazloom combines theory with real-world applications, explaining energy-based fracture criteria, stress intensity concepts, and modern numerical approaches such as finite element modeling for crack analysis. The result is a concise but complete reference for understanding and predicting concrete fracture behavior in bridges, high-rises, tunnels, and pavements.

Designed to serve both classroom and field needs, this book highlights practical strategies for design against brittle failure, assessment of deteriorated structures, and effective repair and strengthening approaches. Engineers working on projects in North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, or the Middle East will find guidance directly applicable to local codes and challenging environmental conditions.

Why professionals choose this title: clear theoretical foundation, step-by-step analytical methods, and actionable insights for durability and safety. Whether you’re modeling crack growth, evaluating fracture toughness, or seeking better materials performance, Mazloom’s work bridges material science and structural practice.
