The material under investigation was ordinary concrete of B 20 class, different in the sizes of coarse aggregate and water-cement ratio of the same value w/c = 0.55. It was found during the tests that there were two kinds of sample cracking mechanisms. Some samples cracked at the moment of the initi

The effects of silica fume and aggregate size on the softening response and brittleness of high strength concretes were investigated by measuring the fracture energy GF, the characteristic length l,, and brittleness index B. Based on the fracture tests and microscopic studies at the aggregate-matrix
The investigation on the yielding at crack tips, its implication on fracture, size effect and its relation to the Griffith criterion of fracture and to the failure of pressure cylinders, and finally the correlation of fracture of plates with that of cylinders are presented herein. By means of the f
