Initiation and Fracture Characteristics of Different Width Cracks of Concretes under Compressional Loading

A stress concentration at a crack tip may cause fracture initiation even under low-stress conditions. The maximum axial stress theory meets the challenges of explaining the fracture propagation of a non-closed fracture of cracked concretes under compressional loading. Uniaxial loading tests of singl...
