Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation
Center for Nondestructive Evaluation

Begun in 1973, the Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation (QNDE) is the premier international NDE meeting designed to provide an interface between research and early engineering through the presentation of current ideas and results focused on facilitating a rapid transfer to engineering development.

This site provides free, public access to papers presented at the annual QNDE conference between 1983 and 1999, and abstracts for papers presented at the conference since 2001.

Abstract

The fracture problem in concrete has been studied in great depth over the past thirty years. There have been many experimental and analytical attempts to calculate a work of fracture and to gain an understanding of the complex mechanisms of concrete fracture. An emerging theme is the intrinsic three-dimensional nature of the damage that occurs in loaded concrete. This has led to an increase in the amount of interior studies conducted. The insides of concrete have been exposed over the years by, among others, acoustic emission techniques, ultrasonics, dye penetration and radiography [1]. Most recently, x-ray microtomography has been used in order to see into the heart of concrete failure [2].
