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 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 کاملSize Effect in Blunt Fracture: Concrete,
The fracture front in concrete, as well as rock, is blunted by a zone of microcracking, and in ductile metals by a zone of yielding. This blunting causes deviations from the structural size effect known from linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM). The size effect is studied first for concrete or rock structures, using dimensional analysis and illustrative examples. Fracture is considered to b...
متن کاملSize Effect in Fracture of Concrete Specimens and Structures: New Problems and Progress
Presented is a concise summary of recent Northwestern University studies of six new problems. First, the decrease of fracture energy during crack propagation through a boundary layer, documented by Hu and Wittmann, is shown to be captured by a cohesive crack model in which the softening tail slope depends on the distance from boundary (which causes an apparent size effect on fracture energy and...
متن کاملCohesive crack, size effect, crack band and work-of-fracture models compared to comprehensive concrete fracture tests
The simplest form of a sufficiently realistic description of the fracture of concrete as well as some other quasibrittle materials is a bilinear softening stress-separation law (or an analogous bilinear law for a crack band). This law is characterized by four independent material parameters: the tensile strength, f ′ t , the stress σk at the change of slope, and two independent fracture energie...
