description Mixed-mode fracture of construction building materials under impact loading is quite common in civil engineering. The investigation of mixed-mode crack propagation behavior is an essential work for fundamental research and engineering application. A variable angle single cleavage semi-circle (VASCSC) specimen was proposed with which the dynamic fracture test was conducted by using a Split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). Notably, the mixed-mode crack propagation velocity could be detected by the synchronized crack velocity measuring system. With experimental results, the dynamic initiation stress intensity factors K<sub>I</sub> and K<sub>II</sub> were calculated by the experimental-numerical method. Additionally, the crack path of mixed-mode I/II fracture can be predicated precisely by using numerical method. Thus, a comprehensive approach of investigation on mixed-mode I/II fracture under impact loading was illustrated in this paper. The study demonstrates that the mixed-mode I/II crack would transform from complicated mode I/II to pure mode I during crack propagation, and several velocity decelerations induced crack deflection. The dynamic initiation fracture toughness of mixed-mode crack was determined by the experimental-numerical method. The VASCSC specimen has a great potential in investigating mixed-mode fracture problems with the SHPB device.
