Technical Committee on Evaluation Method of Crack Propagation of Concrete Structures

With a focus on crack propagation in concrete, this Committee concentrated on the morphology of cracking and investigated the current state and future development of the evaluation of crack propagation, while inventorying test and analysis techniques currently available and examining their scope and potential. The topics included testing techniques capable of evaluating crack propagation (digital image processing, etc.), analysis techniques for evaluating crack propagation (FEM, RBSM, etc.), and methods of evaluating crack propagation in deterioration cases due to various causes (drying shrinkage cracking, corrosion cracking, etc.).
