Abstract

this work, the crack propagation in concrete under uniaxial compression is described using a mathematical model based on damage mechanics. The pre-existing crack surfaces and fracture surface energies of concrete are calculated by means of the proposed model. The model is applied to the available test results. It is seen that there is good agreement between calculated values and experimental data.
