Study of the Post-Peak Behavior of Concrete in the Splitting-Tension Test

The Brazilian test method for evaluating the splitting-tensile strength of concrete is modified to obtain the entire pre- and post-peak response of the specimen. Results are given for different sizes of high strength concrete specimens and specimens of concretes incorporating…

Abstract

The Brazilian test method for evaluating the splitting-tensile strength of concrete is modified to obtain the entire pre- and post-peak response of the specimen. Results are given for different sizes of high strength concrete specimens and specimens of concretes incorporating steel fibers.
