Fracture Process Zone in Concrete Tension Specimens by X-Ray and AE Techniques
Experiments were carried out with an x-ray using contrast medium and three-dimensional acoustic emission (AE) techniques to investigate the behavior of the fracture process zone in concrete. The re...
Nondestructive Evaluation of Cement-Based Materials with Computer Vision
Nonlinear behavior in the pre-peak and strain-softening phenomenon can be explained in terms of microcracks and macrocracks. Numerous microstructural features that absorb energy make concrete a qua...
Influence of Size on Failure of Concrete Elements
Fracture energy of concrete is usually considered to be a specific value characterizing ·a homogeneous material. In many cases, however, the dimension of the maximum aggregate is not sufficiently s...
Fracture Mechanics and Microstructure of Cement Mortar
T. Nishikawa, S. Ito and H. Awaji Dept. Materials Science and Engineering, Nagoya Institute of Technology JAPAN Mechanical properties and fracture behavior of cement mortar sand were studied after ...
Crack Formation around Aggregates in High-Shrinkage Cement Paste
An investigation of cracking around aggregates embedded in high-shrinkage cement paste has been carried out. For this purpose a set of models are set up to determine the stresses inside a cylindric...
Anchor Bolts and Tension Stiffening of Rebars – Two RILEM Round Robin Investigations on Bond
Results from two RILEM Round Robin Investigations are presented. The first one deals with anchor bolts and the second one with bond and tension stiffening of rebars. Some 30 groups of researches en...
