Experimental Investigation on Crack Growth in Pre-Notched Concrete Beams
It is well-known that failure of unreinforced, pre-notched concrete beams in bending is mainly governed by the tensile strength (“ductile” behaviour) or by the fracture toughness (brittle behaviour) depending on the geometrical scale (beam size), and the value of the relative notch depth. In particu...
