AB  - A method for determining softening curves of cementitious materials is presented. Whereas the fracture energy of concrete or related materials may be obtained directly in bending or wedge splitting tests by measuring the fracture work, the determination of the complete softening curve requires backward analyses of the experiments. In these analyses, the experimentally determined load-displacement curves are approximated by repeated numerical simulations of the experiments and correcting the softening curves assumed in the individual simulations. The best fit gives the resulting softening curve for the tested material. For this data fitting process, a new optimization method based on an evolutionary…
