Computer Nonlinear Analysis of the Formation and Development of Cracks in a Travertine Stone Pavement Exposed to Bending Stress Caused by a Single Load

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper focuses on a computer nonlinear analysis of the formation and development of cracks in a travertine stone pavement. The causes of cracking in the upper travertine layer of the tested multi-layer floor are modeled and investigated by a computer nonlinear static analysis. The paper illustrates the setting of material characteristics of the stone in the design of the material model according to the performed destructive and non-destructive laboratory tests.
