Characteristics of microcracking in concrete under static and repeated tensile loading
AbstractThe type and amount of microcracking in normal weight concrete were determined by the direct observation of the slices cut from the necked prismatic specimens subjected to static and repeated tensile loads. It was found from the results of observation under static tensile loading that bond cracks increased almost linearly with increasing load and that mortar cracks developed extensively at about 100% of the ultimate load. The results under repeated tensile loading indicated that the repetitive nature of loading merely conduced to a slight increase in the total amount of internal microcracking. The relations between these findings and two features of the tensile fatigue previously reported were discussed.
