Fracture Propagation in Concrete under Complex Stress
Abstract The effect of boundary conditions on the softening behaviour of concrete specimens subjected to multiaxial compressive and tensile stress was investigated. When the non-uniformity of deformations in a specimen is taken into account, the shape of the descending branch can be explained with a relatively simple fracture model. Post-peak ductility depends on the degree of heterogeneity of the specimen, which enforces macrocrack growth along a tortuous path. The results indicate that unification of tensile and compressive fracture in a single simple fracture model is possible.
