The effect of relative humidity on the fracture energy release rate, G Ic , for single nylon 6,6 fibers has been determined previously. In this article, it is shown that G Ic is independent of relative humidity for moisture contents of ΓΊ 2.3% once the plastic zone correction is made. G Ic is compare
The paper examines two existing models for predicting the load-deflection behavior of plain concrete from fracture energy measured in three-point bending. These models are shown to overestimate the peak load attainable by concrete beams. This major drawback is overcome by proposing a new model tha
