✦ Synopsis

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 loading. The results of earlier experiments on concrete under impact tensile loading can be explained by this model.

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

Load-deflection curves for a notched beam under three-point load are determined using the Fictitious Crack Model (FCM) and Blunt Crack Model (BCM). Two values of fracture energy G, are used in this analysis: (i) GF obtained from the size effect law and (ii) G, obtained independently of the size effe
