Concrete dams are massive unreinforced quasi-brittle structures prone to cracking from multiple causes. The structural safety assessment of cracked concrete dams is typically performed using computational analysis through numerical methods, with adequate...

The elastodynamic stress field near a crack tip propagating at a constant speed in isotropic quasi-brittle material was investigated, taking into account the strain gradient and inertia gradient effects. An asymptotic solution for a steady-state Mode-I c...

In this work, the recently proposed cracking elements method (CEM) is used to simulate the damage processes of structures with initial imperfections. The CEM is built within the framework of the conventional finite element method (FEM) and is formally si...

Comparison of strength characteristics of engineering materials is usually based on comparison of data from quasi-static tests. However, under dynamic loads, strength characteristics of materials are unstable and the strength ratio of two materials can c...

In this paper, we experiment on the hydraulic fracturing of asphalt concrete with a voids content higher than 3%, which has arisen from the possible local shear dilatancy of Quxue asphalt?s core wall of concrete core dam, the highest one of the sort cons...
