Analysis of crack formation and crack growth in concrete by means of fracture mechanics and finite elements

TLDR
In this article, fracture mechanics is introduced into finite element analysis by means of a model where stresses are assumed to act across a crack as long as it is narrowly opened, which may be regarded as a way of expressing the energy adsorption in the energy balance approach.

Computational Methods for Fracture in Brittle and Quasi-Brittle Solids: State-of-the-Art Review and Future Perspectives

Timon Rabczuk
- 20 Mar 2013 - 
TL;DR: An overview of computational methods to model fracture in brittle and quasi-brittle materials is given in this paper, where the main focus is on computational methods for discrete fracture (discrete cracks).

Fracture energy of concrete: Practical performance and experimental results

P.E. Petersson
- 01 Jan 1980 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the conditions of stability for a three-point bend test on a notched beam are calculated by using the fictitious crack model and the results are presented in Fig. 1.

Development of a Single-Edge Notched Beam Test for Asphalt Concrete Mixtures

Michael P. Wagoner, +2 more
- 01 Nov 2005 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a single-edge notched beam (SE(B)) test specimen was used to determine the fracture energy of asphalt concrete overlays and the results from the tests follow expected trends and test variability appears to be within a range typical for asphalt concrete fracture testing.

Analysis of Mixed‐Mode Fracture in Concrete

Jan G. Rots, +1 more
- 01 Nov 1987 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a smeared crack model that covers tensile softening in mode I and shear softening for mode II fracture is described, and the model provides for unloading and reloading and for multiple crack formation.
