Study on Fracture Criterion for Concrete and other Brittle Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

The main defect in concrete and other brittle materials was the crack in the materials which would cause the structures brittle fracture. So it is very important to study the development of cracks in the concrete structure. This article researched the criterion of the shortest distance from the crack tip to the plastic zone edge for concrete and other brittle materials based on the least distance in plastic zone theories. The numerical example verified that the proposed criterion could solve the low stress brittle fracture phenomena in engineering better.
