Fracture toughness determination for epoxy-based polymer concrete mixtures: Applicability of different rectangular beam and circular disc specimens

Fracture toughness determination for epoxy-based polymer concrete mixtures: Applicability of different rectangular beam and circular disc specimens

The purpose of this study was to examine the potential impact of the testing procedure, the shape of the test sample, loading method and sample size on the KIc value of polymer concrete (PC) materials. The research involved experimental investigations using five different testing techniques and spec...
