Determination of shakedown boundary and fitness-assessment-diagrams of cracked pipe bends by ElSaadany, Mostafa

“…Line Spring Elements (LSE) are embedded in quadratic shell elements to model part through cracks. Failure assessment diagrams (FAD) are developed through linking the J-integral fracture mechanics parameter with the shakedown limit moments of the analyzed cracked 90-degree pipe bend. …”

Influence of mix design parameters on restrained shrinkage cracking in non-structural concrete patch repair mortars by Arito, Philemon

“…Some of these material properties, such as skid resistance and chloride ion content, are not relevant to cracking. Also, empirical analytical models for predicting stresses and the age at cracking in PRMs need improvement to accommodate recent developments in materials such as admixtures and additives. …”

A Critical Evaluation of the Use of Crack Width Requirements in the Durability Design of Marine Reinforced Concrete Structures by Elias, Nicholas

“…The results of the service life modelling show that, for the range of crack widths likely to occur in practice, the use of the current CWRs does not improve durability, and may even reduce service life, as they encourage the use of more, smaller diameter reinforcement bars, which has the effect of increasing corrosion rate and reducing the time taken for a critical amount of the reinforcement to be lost due to corrosion. …”
