The influence of the shape of a saw-cut notch in quasi-brittle 3PB specimens on the critical applied force

Values of fracture parameters of quasi-brittle building materials are usually determined from results of tests performed on notched testing specimens. The contribution deals with the influence of various shapes of tips of notches prepared by a diamond saw in three point bending (3PB) specimens. The...
