Mechanisms of tensile fracture of concrete are described. A model is developed for an idealized material. The amount of simultaneous cracking and the path of each crack depend on the rate of stressing. The fracture energy and the tensile strength have been determined as functions of the rate of load
Fracture properties and fracture behavior of concrete under dynamic loadings are investigated. Several series of concrete beams were tested under various rates of loadings. The relative initial notch depths of test beams were varied from zero to 0.75. The loaddeflection curves and the corresponding
