Mixed mode fracture in concrete

Abstract

The type of mixed mode fracture, which is of a main interest for concrete, is a type of fracture, where shear as well as tensile stresses act in a damage zone, which has been created due to pure tensile stresses, and which is perpendicular to the direction of these stresses. While this damage zone still transfers tensile stresses, a shear deformation takes place, which also causes shear stresses. A test set-up for the determination of the material properties in this type of mixed mode fracture is described, and examples of results are given
