DEVELOPMENT OF THE MAP CRACKING IN CONCRETE UNDER COMPRESSIVE LOADING

Before modeling the fracture of concrete, it is necessary to make minute measurements in order to understand the phenomena better. In this paper, the author shows how to follow the development of the microcracks in a sample during compressive loading by the mean of non-destructive loading of replicas observed under scanning electron microscopy. A relation between the observed damage and the overall behaviour of the concrete is established by quantifying the results using the total projection stereological method.
