The existence of microcracks prior to loading indicates that contraction of the cement matrix is accompanied by its tensioning and rupture. In parallel, the contraction creates tensioned "granules" in the mortar as well. It is shown that the elastic modulus of concrete does not vary during loading,

The porosity of soils is considered to be a directional measure and its distribution is characterized by a functional form. This form has been used to extend the critical state soil mechanics framework to include the effects of structure in soils. A new internal plastic energy dissipation formulatio
Since the stress-strain diagram (SSD) indicates a number of distinct stages in the state of concrete, the stress-strain relationships cannot be encompassed within a single formula. It is shown that the peculiarities in the concrete behavior can be accounted for,-if the widely-known fact of constancy
While the distinctive feature of the ascending branch in the stress-strain diagram (SSD) of concrete is the atrophying effect, the descending branch (DB) is distinguished by progressive macrodestruction. It is shown that the DB model should consist of two macro-components: the central function, adop
