Description
Mechanical Behavior of Concrete
This title provides a comprehensive overview of all aspects of the mechanical behavior of concrete, including such features as its elastoplasticity, its compressive and tensile strength, its behavior over time (including creep and shrinkage, cracking and fatigue) as well as modeling techniques and its response to various stimuli. As such, it will be required reading for anyone wishing to increase their knowledge in this area.

Persons
Jean-Michel Torrenti is the R & D director of the Materials and Structures Department of IFSTTAR and a Professor at Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussees. His research concerns the mechanics of concrete and its coupling with durability aspects, and has been applied to modeling the behavior of structures such as bridges, nuclear power plants and nuclear waste storage. He is the co-author of several books concerning concrete and concrete structures.
Gilles Pijaudier-Cabot graduated from Ecole Normale Superieure de Cachan - France - in 1985 and obtained a Ph.D. from Northwestern University. He was appointed professor at Ecole Normale Superieure de Cachan in 1992 where he was the head of the civil and environmental engineering group. He joined Ecole Centrale de Nantes in 1999 and started a research and technology group specialising in the durability of concrete structures.
Jean-Marie Reynouard is Professor in Civil Engineering at "Institut National des Sciences Appliquees de Lyon, France." He is well known in the field of computational modeling of concrete structures, concrete modeling and coupling, and transient problems in porous media.
