On the measurement of concrete fracture energy using three-point bend tests
Abstract The RILEM proposal for measuring the fracture energy ($ G_{F} $) of mortar and concrete by means of three-point bend tests on notched beams [1] aroused a vivid discussion on the size dependence of $ G_{F} $. The authors of this note, in 1992, summarized in three papers [2–4] their research on the RILEM proposal, placing special emphasis on several sources of energy dissipation during testing. In particular, it was shown that the dissipated energy at the very end of the test cannot be neglected for small specimens when tests are stopped at a reasonably small rotation. The interest raised by these papers and the publication of comments with remarkable misunderstanding, as in a recent book by Cotterell and Mai [5], call for a short note explaining in more detail some aspects of the procedure suggested by the authors to compute the nonmeasured energy from the tail in a RILEM test.
