In this paper we review experimental and field observations of the process zone, 4, size dependence in concrete and rock and suggest that a valid K,, test for such materials may require impractically large specimen sizes. Direct application of linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) to toughness te
The objective of this paper is to investigate the fracture behavior of short fiber reinforced ceramic structures by means of the fracture mechanics approach. In this paper, structural stability in relation to crack growth in shear key structures with a softening process zone under effectively bendin
The determination of the fracture process zone in concrete is a difficult experimental problem, because the resulting deformation is strongly localized and cannot be measured adequately by strain-gages or coarse moir4 techniques. The preliminary results of an experimental study of the strain field i
A meso-scale analysis is performed to determine the fracture process zone of concrete subjected to uniaxial tension. The meso-structure of concrete is idealised as stiff aggregates embedded in a soft matrix and separated by weak interfaces. The mechanical response of the matrix, the inclusions and t
