Determination of fracture toughness in plain concrete specimens by R curve

Experimental tests and computational algorithm are implemented to investigate crack growth phenomena in C0.7 concrete. Firstly, three point bending tests are carried out on normalized prismatic specimens notched laterally (SENB), then, computational calculation was developed to calculate the concr...
