Are there design equations for concrete sectors based on fracture mechanics parameters?
using the fracture parameters KIc or Gf to design concrete section as using compressive strength in design equation
C Michael Donoghue
There is still developing and rich literature on fracture mechanic in "quasi--brittle" materials. One of the early and consistent researchers in the area is Zdeneck Bazant at Northwestern and numerous others around the world. You might start with ACI committee 446 on Fracture Mechanics of Concrete structures and pick up the thread from there.
