Funded Activity Summary

Computational framework for fracture in concrete structures. Fracture in concrete is a critical issue for serviceability and minimising the risk of structural collapse. The project aims to develop a technology for the robust and detailed prediction of how concrete structures behave during fracture. The scientific framework will build on a novel theory for 3D fracture and a new computational approach for tackling the highly non-linear behaviour of damage propagation. These advances aim to produce a platform for designers to create and test new designs and technologies for current and new materials. The project aims to produce outcomes that will advantage Australian companies in the international market for large construction projects, where competition is intense and innovation is an important part of increasing market share.
