1. Fracture mechanics studies of non-yielding materials like concrete : modelling of tensile fracture and applied strength analyses
Abstract : Fracture mechanics studies of non-yielding materials are presented. The studies are based on theoretical models for the macroscopical mechanical behaviour of materials during tensile stress induced fracture. A number of applied numercal analysis are indicated. READ MORE

2. Behaviour of fracture process zones in concrete influenced by simultaneously applied normal and shear displacements
Abstract : The thesis deals with the determination of the post peak behaviour of concrete in pure tension, and combined tension (compression) and shear. A test arrangement has been developed in order to determine the post peak behaviour of concrete expressed as stress - displacement curves. READ MORE

3. Fracture mechanics and tribology of rock and rock joints
Abstract : In the first part of the thesis fracture toughness tests of rocks are described. Specimens of Stripa Granite have been tested in three point bending, compact tension and short rod tension. READ MORE

4. Stabilising system for multi-storey beam and post timber buildings
Abstract : For multi-storey timber buildings, the stabilisation against horizontal loads is one of the key issues, which becomes more severe with height. There are a few main concepts utilised to resist lateral forces; shear wall action, diagonal bracing, and frame action. READ MORE
