Abstract

Recent researches into fracture in concrete and rocks are described. The general theory of the strength of brittle materials, based on the concept that brittle bodies contain a multitude of crack-like flaws, is outlined and used to describe the observed fracture behaviour of concrete and rocks.
Attention is drawn to the relation between size of structure and probable stress at fracture. Finally, the implications of brittle fracture concepts are discussed in relation to design of mass concrete structures, such as arch dams, and the importance of fracture control measures is emphasised.
