Simulation of the Brazilian Test on Concrete Discs to Verify the Size Effect Law
The Brazilian test is a way of determining the tensile strength of concrete cylinders/discs. The direct tensile test was very difficult due to experimental difficulties, so this method gained momentum across the world. In this method, diametrical load is applied to a concrete disc and indirect tensile strength is determined. As a part of this method, further research realized the existence of size effect on maximum tensile stresses. This research focuses on verifying the size effect law by ABAQUS simulations on concrete discs. Simulations were developed for concrete discs of various diameters, while keeping the other variables like loading, contact area, material properties, and disc thickness as constants. The results of these simulations comply with the size effect law as they show that maximum tensile stress decreases with increase in diameter of the discs.
