Lecture

Cracking and Sorption

Description

This lecture delves into the complexity of concrete as a material, focusing on the formation and impact of cracks, particularly microcracks, on its properties and long-term durability. The instructor discusses the various types of cracks in concrete structures, the factors leading to their formation, and their influence on mass transport properties. Additionally, mitigation methods to control crack size and spacing, as well as future research directions, are explored.
