Estimation of crack opening from a two-dimensional continuum-based finite element computation

SUMMARY Damage models are capable of representing crack initiation and mimicking crack propagation within a continuum framework. Thus, in principle, they do not describe crack openings. In durability analyses of concrete structures however, transfer properties are a key issue controlled by crack pro...
