Determination of Fracture Energy of Early Age Concrete through a Uniaxial Tensile Test on an Un-Notched Specimen
Unlike the notched specimens for conventional concrete fracture tests, this paper introduces a deformation-controlled uniaxial tensile test on an un-notched specimen. The surface of the dog bone-shaped specimen is a second order parabolic curve, and the gradual change in the specimen shape does not...
