Computational Fracture Modeling for Effects of Healed Crack Length and Interfacial Cohesive Properties in Self-Healing Concrete Using XFEM and Cohesive Surface Technique

Healing patterns are a critical issue that influence the fracture mechanism of self-healing concrete (SHC) structures. Partial healing cracks could happen even during the normal operating conditions of the structure, such as sustainable applied loads or quick crack spreading. In this paper, the effe...
