Determination of Fracture Properties of Concrete Using Size and Boundary Effect Models

Determination of Fracture Properties of Concrete Using Size and Boundary Effect Models

Tensile strength and fracture toughness are two essential material parameters for the study of concrete fracture. The experimental procedures to measure these two fracture parameters might be complicated due to their dependence on the specimen size or test method. Alternatively, based on the fractur...
