A probabilistic approach to corrosion induced cracking in reinforced concrete was investigated. Hydraulic pressurization at the reinforcement/concrete interface was used to simulate corrosion of reinforcement and cause fracture. The failure pressure data was analysed statistically and found to have

Tests were carried out on mortar and concrete to determine whether the fracture toughness depends upon the length of the crack front. Notched beams were prepared with a constant length of 203.2 mm and depth of 50.8 mm, but with the width (length of crack front) varying from 45 to 254 mm. They were t
The influence of mechanical loading effects on carbonation or chloride penetration is studied. Specimens are reinforced concrete beams of 3 m long which are stored in a mechanical loading state and in aggressive environments. Carbonated cover depths and chloride contents are measured. The results sh
The variation of K,= with crack-front width is investigated for Douglas-fir wood using beam and compact tension specimens. A study of within-board variation for the RT, TR, TL and RL systems of propagation showed a trend of decreasing K,= as the crack-front width increased from 0.5 to 5.5 in. The ob
