The problem of notch sensitivity of concrete is discussed with the influence of size effect taken into account. The need to consider the size effect on the tensile strength of concrete was noted. It is shown that the critical stress intensity factor, KIC, is connected with the tensile strength of th

Predictions of graphite strength under tensile and bending loads using fracture mechanics have been compared with experimental data and the currently used Weibull method. The methods are comparable for similar specimens but Weibull's method fails to predict the observed effects for large specimen si
The size effect of concrete strength has been analysed by statistical theories of brittle materials in this paper. On the basis of available theories and experiments, normal distribution was used in preference to any other. The use of Weibull's theory in a non-uniformly tensile stress state has been
If concrete is tested by applying the load with rigid steel platens, restrained lateral deformations lead to a complicated multiaxial state of stress. Some methods to reduce the influence of friction between specimen and platens are discussed. Using aluminum sheets between platens and concrete compr
