Crack Analysis in Structural Concrete

A comprehensive information guide on fast-developing field of structural analysis in concrete; this book discusses causes of concrete cracking, including tensile strength of concrete, temperature, shrinkage and creep effects. This book also investigates the application of distributed optical fiber strain sensors to civil engineering structures, because no other tool can satisfactorily detect the location of the unpredictable phenomenon. This book will be of valued to professional civil and structural engineers as well as researchers in civil and structural engineering and related disciplines.
