Incremental displacement collocation method for the determination of fracture properties of quasi-brittle materials

This thesis presents experimental and numerical investigations on the fracture properties of quasi-brittle materials, including mortar, concrete and graphite. Fracture toughness in terms of the critical stress intensity factor K_IC and fracture energy G_F of the materials were determined through th...
