Original Abstract

The paper describes the results of an extensive experimental program which focused on determining fracture-mechanical parameters and their stochastic models of concrete C25/30. The testing program consisted of compression tests on cubic specimens, three-point bending tests on beams with notch and wedge-splitting tests on cubic specimens with notch. In the case of the three-point bending tests, along with the standard evaluation of fracture-mechanical properties according to code specifications material parameter identification was carried out. In addition, the time development of fracture-mechanical parameters and their variability was studied.

Keywords
