TL;DR: In this article, a constitutive model based on the combination of damage mechanics and plasticity is developed to analyse the failure of concrete structures, which describes the important characteristics of the failure process of concrete subjected to multiaxial loading.

TL;DR: In this article, a three-dimensional interface model based on a combination of damage mechanics and the theory of plasticity is proposed, which allows one to control the ratio of permanent and total inelastic displacements.

TL;DR: In this article, the use of distributed optical fiber sensors (DOFS) based on Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry of Rayleigh backscattering for Structural Health Monitoring purposes in civil engineering structures is investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate how fibres affect the structural behavior of two-way reinforced concrete slabs, such as the possibility for redistribution, crack patterns and load-carrying capacity.

TL;DR: The suitability of embedding robust distributed optical fibre sensors featuring a protective sheath to accurately assess the performance indicators, in terms of vertical deflection and crack width, of three reinforced concrete beams subjected to four-point bending is investigated.
