CARPIUC benchmark overview: crack advance, reorientation, propagation and initiation under complex loadings

Abstract A series of experiments has been performed to build a benchmark for the numerical modeling of mixed mode crack propagation in concrete. Two tests are selected so that the propagation is almost always stable although the material is quasi-fragile. Moreover the variation of mode mixity enable...
