Determination of parameters of a viscous-cohesive fracture model by inverse analysis

ABSTRACTThe quasi-brittle, loading rate dependent behaviour of the concrete, characterized by a fracture process zone (FPZ) ahead of the crack front, can be described through a viscous-cohesive model. In this paper, a viscous cohesive model proposed in a former paper is evaluated for a group of high...
