The J-integral, a one-parameter average measure of the elastic-plastic field near a crack tip, was investigated as a fracture criterion for fiber-reinforced concrete. Cement paste, plain concrete and eight different steel and glass fiber concretes in the form of notched beams were tested in bending,

โฆ Synopsis
Recent experimentaf resuits have indicated that the f integral may serve as a vaiid parameter for predicting elastic-plastic plane strain fracture. Similar confirmation for thin section or predominantly plane stress fracture does not exist. The purpose of this investigation was to examine experimentally the validity of a .I integral fracture criterion by performing tests on thin section metals. Seven alloys and three specimen connations were tested under conditions that caused elastic-plastic fracture. Results indicated that a critical value of J existed for each aIIoy that eoutd be used as a fracture criterion.
