Crack Propagation in Concrete with Silica Particles
The propagation of cracking in concrete is a mechanism governing many physical and mechanical properties of the material. The aim of this study was to experimentally investigate the crack propagation of new concrete compositions using image analysis. Several concrete mixes containing microsilica and nanosilica were made. For each composition, Compact Tension (CT) specimens were prepared with dimensions 150×150×12 mm. Specimens were subjected to a tensile load. The formation and propagation of the tensile cracks was traced on the surface of the specimens using a high resolution digital camera with 60 mm focal length. Images were captured during testing with a time interval of one second. The compression strength and modulus of elasticity were also determined for reference. The results obtained with this method have shown that it is possible to monitor relatively small displacements on the specimen surface regardless of the scale of the representative area of interest and to evaluate the influence of filler on the cracking properties of concrete.
