## Abstract In this study, three‐point bending tests were carried out on notched beams to investigate mode I crack propagation in plain concrete under fatigue. The first part of the study focused on microscopic observations of the crack growth features. Microscopic observations were made using the

We report on a newly developed testing technique for the characterization of the interlaminar fracture behaviour of fibre reinforced plastics in the crack opening mode (mode I). The splitting test is experimentally simple; the loading device and the sample geometry are small and well-suited for meas
Several computational aspects of the fracture energy based softening plasticity model for plain concrete are considered. A need for a more robust stress return strategy is identified, as the basic closest point projection algorithm leads to regions of nonconvergence, associated with zones of high cu
