The existing fracture models for concrete and the testing methods for fracture energy and other fracture characteristics are reviewed and some new results on the relationship between fracture testing and size effect are presented. Thus the value Gft, = G,o[1 + \)1(00)] is an ef­ fective fracture energy representing the crack growth resis­ tance for a very large structure.

Fracture energy gain data for concrete beams cured at 57.2, 73.4, and 95 °F (14, 23, and 35 °C) were obtained at six different ages ranging nominally from 1 day to later ages. RILEM Technical Committee 50—Fracture Mechanics of Concrete, has put forward a proposal for a recommendation for the determination of the fracture energy GF of mortar and concrete. The material 1 PhD Candidate, Sharif The method of determining concrete fracture energy recommended by RILEM has an obvious size effect, so determining fracture energy that is unaffected by size of the test specimen is difficult. Fracture toughness and fracture energy release rate are two important parameters to understand the crack propagation within any material. Scope This test method covers determination of fracture energy of concrete(1) from the load-CMOD 4) Nakamura, H., and Higai, T.: Compressive Fracture Energy and Fracture Zone Length of Concrete, Modeling of Inelastic Behavior of RC Structures under Seismic Loads, ASCE, pp.471-487, 1999.10 5) 大岡督尚ほか：コンクリートの破壊パラメータに及ぼす短繊維混入および材齢の影響，日本建築学会構造系論文集，第529号， pp.1-6，2000.3 hޜ�1o�0���G��! Fracture energy depends on the deviations of a real crack from an idealized crack plane. The temperature effect is determined both for concrete predried in an oven and for wet (saturated) concrete. Therefore, it serves as an overview of the available approaches in determining the fracture energy. In the model of crack band, the width of fracture process zone wc is an additional parameter of concrete fracture. However, research does suggest that fracture energy of concrete does marginally increase with compressive strength, although failure is more brittle (K.P. The fracture energy is defined as the energy required to open a unit area of crack surface. The paper analyzes the size dependence of the fracture energy of concrete obtained according to the existing RILEM recommendation proposed by Hillerborg and based on the work-of-fracture method of Nakayama, Tattersal and Tappin, in which the energy dissipated at the fracture front is evaluated from the measured load-displacement curve.
