Experimental study of the mechanical behavior of self-compacting concrete based on fracture mechanics

ABSTRACT Considering the physical nonlinearity of concrete and the fundamentals of fracture mechanics for quasi-brittle materials, the objective of this study was to determine the fracture energy and the length of the fracture process zone (FPZ) as well as the modulus of elasticity, the tensile stre...
