Currently there are only few research results for predicting the relationship between deflection and the crack mouth opening displacement (CMOD) of steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams. A series of bending beam tests on SFRC, with different fibre contents and fibre types have been carried ou
The potential drop method as used in fatigue and fracture toughness testing has been applied to tests on COD specimens. These tests showed that providing electrical stability is maintained, the method can be used to detect the onset of ductile crack growth. Initial plastic deformation (in absence of
Crack closure behaviour has long been found to have a significant influence on fatigue crack growth and a large amount of research has been done in the past 3 decades. Whereas the majority of these research efforts focus on long cracks, relatively little is known for short fatigue cracks, in particu
