Experimental Determination of the Fractal Dimension of Disordered Fracture Surfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of an experimental post-mortem investigation on concrete fracture surfaces of specimens broken in direct tension are presented, where four numerical methods are implemented and applied to digitized profiles in order to extract their fractal dimension D. The results provided by this analysis are then related to the renormalized fracture energy of the material, in order, to explain the well-known size effect on the nominal fracture energy.

Failure Mode Transitions in Reinforced Concrete Beams-Part 1: Theoretical Model
TL;DR: In this paper, the bridged crack model is extended to include both compression crushing and shear cracking, assuming a shape for the hypothetical crack trajectory and determining the shear crack initiation point and the load versus crack depth propagation curve.
Fracture properties of plain and steel-polypropylene-fiber-reinforced high-performance concrete lastnosti loma navadnega in visokozmogljivega betona, oja^anega s polipropilenskimi vlakni
TL;DR: In this article, the fracture properties of high-performance concrete (HPC) containing two widely used types of fibers were investigated and it was shown that the fibers contributed considerably to the structural integrity and stability of the HPC elements, thereby improving their durable service life.
The WST-method for fracture testing of fibre-reinforced concrete
TL;DR: In this article, the reproducibility of the wedge splitting test method (WST) and the guidelines to provide guidelines were evaluated in a round-robin study with three labs.
Fracture properties of geopolymer concrete
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of an experimental investigation carried out to determine the fracture properties of geopolymer concrete were presented, and the results showed that the fracture parameters such as fracture energy and stress intensity factor were determined.
