MIXED-MODE CRACK PROPAGATION THROUGH REINFORCED CONCRETE
An experimental study
Abstract This paper presents the results of a very recent experimental research program aimed at investigating mixed-mode fracture of reinforced concrete. The tests were designed so that only one single mixed mode crack generates and propagates through the specimen, as opposed to the usual dense crack pattern found in most of the tests in scientific literature. The specimens were three-point-bend beams of three different sizes. They were notched asymmetrically and reinforced with various ratios of longitudinal and of inclined reinforcement. These experiments may help to understand the mechanisms of crack initiation and propagation through einforcing bars under mixed load conditions.
