Investigation on the characterization and modelling of Fracture Process Zone behavior in Concrete Beams subjected to Three-Point Loading Tests

H. S. Vishwanatha, S. Muralidhara, B. K. Raghu Prasad

The fracture behavior of quasi-brittle materials such as concrete is characterized by the presence of a fracture process zone (FPZ) that precedes the main crack. Within this zone, various mechanisms, including the formation of microcracks…
