Tensile Creep Behavior of Concrete Subject to Constant Restraint at Very Early Ages
Tensile stress develops in concrete when shrinkage deformations and restraints (internal or external) exist. Utilization of appropriate creep or relaxation functions is crucial for assessing stress and the associated cracking potential in concrete, especially at early ages when chemical and physical properties change rapidly. The existing models, developed either from compressive creep tests or...
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 ...
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 کاملAnalysis of Work-of-fracture Method for Measuring Fracture Energy of Concrete
The role that plastic-frictional energy dissipation in the fracture process zone plays in the workof-fracture method for measuring the fracture energy of concrete or other quasibrittle materials is analyzed, and a possible improvement of this method is proposed. It is shown that by measuring the unloading compliance at a sufficient number of states on the post-peak descending load-deflection cu...
متن کاملPart A- Experimental: Experimental Analysis of Crack Propagation in Pre-stressed Concrete Sleepers by Fracture Mechanics
This study investigates propagation of mode I crack in B70 pre-stressed concrete sleepers by fracture mechanics approach. A new experimental analysis is done for notched B70 pre-stressed concrete sleepers with Replica test and image analysis. A scanning electron microscope test (SEM) and an image analysis are applied for the Replica test in order to determine crack length and crack mouth openin...
