Abstract

The influence of temperature and loading rate on material response, particular uniaxial tensile strength ft, Young's modulus Eo fracture energy Gp as well as on the shape of the stress-strain and stress-crack opening relations was investigated. In addition, the roughness and fractal dimensions of the fracture surfaces were calculated in order to study failure mechanisms concrete subjected to different test conditions.
