Cohesive crack, size effect, crack band and work-of-fracture models compared to comprehensive concrete fracture tests

The simplest form of a sufficiently realistic description of the fracture of concrete as well as some other quasibrittle materials is a bilinear softening stress-separation law (or an analogous bilinear law for a crack band). This law is characterized by four independent material parameters: the ten...
