Wedge Splitting

The wedge splitting test specimens with three series of different relative crack length were used to study the influences of relative crack length on the fracture toughness of common concrete. The suitable formulation for fracture toughness of concrete with different relative crack length was gotten on comparing between fracture toughness test results and computation results of the model developed from Hu formula.

Ductile To Brittle Transition

Detailed experiments of fracture toughness in which SENB specimens of five different thicknesses were included were carried out to investigate the size effect in the ductile to brittle transition temperature region. It is found that the fracture toughness of the upper shelf increases with the thickness of the specimens with the similar geometry. While the fracture toughness of the lower shelf decreases with the thickness in the range of 4mm to 12mm and then drops up from 12mm to 16mm with the appearance of shear lips which present the shearing fracture under the plane stress state. The tearing modulus dJ/da which determines the resistance to stable crack growth increases with the increment of thickness and the reduction of the temperature. The results of the stress triaxiality increasing with the reduction of the thickness explain well the experimental results.
