摘要
The paper presents use of universal form of weight functions for determining the double-K fracture parameters K(IC)(ini) and K(IC)(un) on compact test and wedge splitting test specimens. The proposed method enables to obtain a closed form expression of cohesion toughness of concrete specimens. A comparison with existing analytical method shows that the weight function method for determination of double-K fracture parameters yields results without any appreciable error. Significant influence of initial notch to depth (a(0)/D) ratio on the double-K fracture parameters is not also observed. Finally. a possible definition of brittleness of concrete using double-K fracture parameters is proposed. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
