A numerical study of two different specimen fixtures for the modified compact tension test – their influence on concrete fracture parameters

The modified compact tension test (MCT) may represent a new test configuration for the performance of static and other kinds of fatigue tests on concrete-like materials. Core drilling can be employed to obtain specimens which are cylindrical in shape and have a standard diameter of 150 mm, this be...
