Concrete structures are full of cracks. Their failure involves stable growth of large cracking zones and the formation of large fractures before the maximum load is reached. This course reviews the mechanism and analytical techniques for the cracking, which includes fracture mechanics of concrete and nonlinear mechanics of reinforced concrete.

Creep refers to long-term deformation, usually for several years in the case of concrete, when a material is under constant load. Even within short time, large amount of creep is observed at early age of concrete, which sometimes causes a problem on the construction of high-rise buildings and piers. In the period, shrinkage is accompanied and affects the dimensional stability of early-age concrete. Thermal deformation due to heat and its transfer of hydration is also an important time-dependent property to be considered for the safety and serviceability of concrete structures.

Classes are to be held on the sites which all the activities happen: laboratory, studio, working place, and even in-between those. Students are subject to submit their reports with flexible formats and to exhibit those as either scientist, engineer, philosopher, or artist, at the end of the semester.
