The major topics for FraMCoS-7 conference are summarized as follows:
A. Recent advances in fracture mechanics of concrete
B. Fracture and cracking behavior of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures
C. High-performance and high strength concretes
D. Fiber reinforced cementitious composites and FRC
E. Advancement in structural design codes
F. Structural monitoring and assessment
G. Repair and retrofitting
H. Durability and corrosion-induced cracking
I. Interface fracture and debonding phenomena
J. Constitutive relations, time-dependent effects, cyclic and fatigue behavior
K. Brick masonry, concrete-like and quasi-brittle materials (rocks, soils, ceramics,
refractory materials, asphalt, bitumen, ice, snow, etc.)
L. Practical applications of fracture mechanics to concrete structures
Besides the FraMCoS traditional topics related to concrete and reinforced concrete, concrete-like and quasi-brittle materials may also be considered, when the related experimental methods and theoretical/numerical models are analogous to those utilized for concrete. Sessions will be organized under the above and other possible focused themes, with theoretical, computational and experimental papers intermixed in topical sessions.
