✦ Synopsis


To evaluate the parameters in the two-parameter fracture model, i.e. the critical stress intensity factor and critiLcal crack tip opening displacement for the fracture of plain concrete in Mode 1 for the given test configuration and geometry, considerable computational effort is necessary. A simple graphical method has beam proposed using normalized fracture parameters for the three-point bend (3PB) notched specimen and the double-edged notched (DEN) specimen. A similar graphical method is proposed to compute the maximum load carrying capacity of a specimen, using the critical fracture parameters both for 3PB and DEN configurations.

A method is described for determining the fracture toughness of plain concrete from three-point bend specimens which accounts for the pre-peak crack growth that occurs upon loading. The fracture toughness so determined is shown not to depend on the size and geometry of the test specimen but on the m

## Abstract It is conventional to describe the relationship between the specific rate of microbial growth and the concentration of the inhibitory substrate in terms of the Andrews–Edwards equation. A novel method for establishing the constants of this equation is presented. The equation is transfor
