A new fracture toughness calculation method for cementitious materials in the three-point bending test based on the transverse force

The traditional calculation method for the fracture toughness of cementitious materials by the three-point bending test is based on the empirical formula of concrete specimens. There may be some errors in the fracture toughness calculation of cement paste and mortar when the traditional method is ap...
