The modified compact tension (MCT) test, though not yet recognized as a valid test for determining fracture energy of concrete, is believed to represent a plausible and suitable alternative versus other well established procedures, such as…
The fracture mechanical properties of silicate based materials are determined from various fracture mechanicals tests, e.g. three- or four- point bending test, wedge splitting test, modified compact tension test etc. For evaluation of the…
This paper studied the effects of specimen size and type on the real-mode-I fracture toughness (KIC )of steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) specimens. Mode I KIC tests were performed using semicircular bend (SCB) and center-cracked…
This paper presents numerical models of a 3D printed plastic joint applicable to the connection of wooden structures. The research presented provides a comparison of two alternative solutions for the geometry of the joint and results from…
This study investigates the effect of interleaving non-woven veils and their surface areal density on the curved beam strength (CBS) and interlaminar radial stress (ILRS) of glass/epoxy L-bend composite laminates. Carbon veils with areal…
