Three point bending tests were carried out on 14mm-thick Q460C the high-strength structural steel at low temperature, and scanning electronic microscope of the fracture appearance was analyzed. The results showed that the obvious feature of brittle mechanism was shown on the three point bending specimen fracture whose testing took place at -40°C. And the crack tip opening displacement value of Q460C steel, which was less than that of Q235 steel, Q345 steel and Q390 steel at low temperature, tended to decrease with respect to the temperature reduction. Moreover, a Boltzmann function fitting analysis was applied to the experimental data, and the ductile-brittle transition temperature and the changing regularity were obtained.

Knowledge of fracture mechanics parameters can help for a more accurate assessment of frost degradation of high-strength concrete. High strength concretes, despite the tight structure, are characterized by increased brittleness. Cracks in the concrete structure are places of accumulation of significant stresses. Additional stresses resulting from cyclic freeze/thaw stimulate the material destruction processes. The basic strength parameters of concrete do not take into account structural defects of the material and do not give a complete description of susceptibility to damage caused by, e.g., frost degradation. This study aimed to determine the relationship between frost degradation of high-strength concretes and changes in the value of their fracture energy associated with the initiation of cracking after 150, 250, 350 and 450 freeze/thaw cycles. The research was carried out using 100 × 100 × 400 mm samples, with a pre-initiated 30 mm deep notch. The I load model under a three-point bending test was used, based on the procedure recommended by RILEM. Concrete with a compressive strength of 90 MPa with steel fibres and a mixture of steel and basalt fibers was tested. The obtained results allow for the evaluation of frost degradation using fracture energy GF and critical crack tip opening displacement CTODc.

According to BS7448 fracture toughness test standard, crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) for ASTM A333 Gr.6 low temperature steel which is used in offshore platform were carried out in low temperature (0°C, -29°C). Three point bending tests were conducted on the specimens, the dimension of which is B×2B (B is the thickness) and notch direction is NP. The final value of CTOD was calculated by P-V curves of both the welds and HAZ (heat affected zone). And the experimental results were analyzed and discussed in the paper. The low temperature steel welded joints show good low temperature toughness, the selected welding procedure is applied to construction of pipelines.The CTOD value of HAZ is larger than weld metal and weld is the weakest position in the whole structure. The experiment results provide an important basis for the choice of welding method and welding process parameters, ECA assessment and construction of offshore platform.

The paper presents the results of tests for flexural tensile strength (fct,fl) and fracture energy (Gf) in a three-point bending test of prismatic beams with notches, which were made of steel fibre reinforced high-strength concrete (SFRHSC). The registration of the conventional force–displacement (F–δ) relationship and unconventional force-crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) relationship was made. On the basis of the obtained test results, estimations of parameters fct,fl and Gf in the function of fibre reinforcement ratio were carried out. The obtained results were applied to building and validating a numerical model with the use of the finite element method (FEM). A non-linear concrete damaged plasticity model CDP was used for the description of the concrete. The obtained FEM results were compared with the experimental ones that were based on the assumed criteria. The usefulness of the flexural tensile strength and fracture energy parameters for defining the linear form of weakening of the SFRHSC material under tension, was confirmed. Own equations for estimating the flexural tensile strength and fracture energy of SFRHSC, as well as for approximating deflections (δ) of SFRHSC beams as the function of crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) instead of crack mouth opening displacement (CMOD), were proposed.

For production of appropriate heat affected zones Gleeble 3500 physical simulator was applied, with different heating cycles and specific cooling times. Following the simulation, fracture mechanical investigations were performed, in favor of determination crack tip opening displacement (CTOD or δ) values.

Crack Tip Opening

High strength line-pipe steels are widely used in long distance gas pipelines. Fracture toughness is one major parameter in the performance evaluation of these line-pipe steels. For high strength line-pipe steels, critical crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) is one typical quantity for fracture toughness. In this paper, a series of experimental studies were conducted to investigate the influences of steel property and specimen thickness on critical CTOD by three points bending tests for X70 and X80 line-pipe steel. Results showed that the critical CTOD is mainly depended on the plastic crack mouth opening displacement of the specimen. For the same size specimens, the critical CTOD of X80 steel was much less than X70 steel. The specimen thickness had a significant influence on the plastic crack mouth opening displacement. With the decrease of the specimen thickness, the critical CTOD increased.
