Distinct Fracture Patterns in Construction Steels for Reinforced Concrete under Quasistatic Loading— A Review

Steel is one of the most widely used materials in construction. Nucleation growth and coalescence theory is usually employed to explain the fracture process in ductile materials, such as many metals. The typical cup–cone fracture pattern has been extensively studied in the past, giving rise to numer...
