Reconstruction of a fracture process zone during tensile failure of quasi-brittle materials

The paper outlines a technique for estimation of the size and shape of an inelastic zone evolving around a crack tip during the tensile failure of structures/structural members made of quasi-brittle building materials, particularly cementitious composites. The technique is based on an amalgamation o...
