A Simple Fracture Mechanical Interpretation of Size Effects in Concrete Fracture Toughness Tests
Concrete is a so called quasibrittle material which, despite predominantly elastic material response, exhibits in tension loading a stable non-linear fracture response, when tested under displacement control. The reason for the non-linearity is the development of a fracture process zone, in front of the crack, due to micro-cracking and crack bridging. The effect of the fracture process zone is ...
متن کاملcharacterization and determination of critical interlaminar fracture toughness of carbon- epoxy with arcan specimen
in recent years, the application of composite materials in aircraft and space vehicle structural components has become increasingly popular. preventing failure of composite structural systems has been an important issue in engineering design. due to the lack of through-the-thickness reinforcement, structures made from laminated composite materials and adhesively bonded joints are highly suscept...
متن کاملBehavior of Concrete round Double Beam Fracture Toughness Test Specimens
Laboratory fracture toughness tests of concrete using wedge-loaded round double beam specimens with a length to diameter ratio of 2:1 show two distinctly different specimen behaviors. Either the crack remains in the plane of the notch, and a valid test result can be obtained, or there is lateral cracking around mid-length which invalidates the results. Results of a controlled study show that th...
متن کاملA Study of Concrete Specimen Change Under Fracture
Volumetric images of small mortar cylinders under load are acquired by X-ray microtomography. The images are binarized at different threshold values, and the connected components are extracted at each threshold with a 3D spaceand time-efficient program. Statistics of volume and surface area of separated concrete segments and cracks are collected and analyzed. Under increasing load, the concrete...
متن کاملDetermination of size-independent specific fracture energy of concrete from three-point bend and wedge splitting tests
Three-point bend (TPB) and wedge splitting (WS) tests have been conducted on three different concretes and the specific fracture energy GF determined on the basis of the concept of local fracture energy. The latter is influenced by the free back surface of a notched test specimen, as explained by Hu and Wittmann. Tests on three or four specimen sizes with four notch to depth ratios confirm the ...
