The present book gathers a large amount of the recent research results on this topic to provide a better understanding of the size effect by giving a quantitative description of the relationship between the properties of engineering concrete-making material (e.g. the nominal strength) and the corresponding structure size. To be precise, this is about to explore the new static and dynamic unified size effect laws for concrete materials, as well as size effect laws for concrete components. Besides presenting clear and accurate descriptions that further deepen our fundamental knowledge, this book provides additionally useful tools for the scientific design of concrete structures in practical engineering applications.&nbsp;

This book is written by subject experts based on the latest research results on the characteristic line method of stress wave propagation in rock masses. It establishes a framework for stress wave propagation analysis methods under three levels of rocks, joints and rock masses. It introduces the two-characteristic line method for stress wave propagation in rocks, and further illustrates the modified characteristic line method for stress wave propagation in complex jointed rock masses. The split three-characteristic line method was proposed for stress wave propagation in rock masses with macro-joints and micro-defects. The book focuses on the basic theory, and highlights the ideas, methods and steps to solve the problem of stress wave propagation in rock masses. This book can be used as a reference book for researchers of research institutes engaged in analyzing, predicting and controlling dynamic stability in rock, geological, and mining engineering. &#8203;
