Fracture criteria play a very important role in predicting crack propagation behavior and life
evaluation of cracked bodies. In this paper, mixed mode I-II fracture criteria in the framework …

In order to use recycled materials in the composition of greener and cleaner concrete
products, it is vital to ensure that the produced concrete have the appropriate level of …

Low-temperature cracking is one of the main types of distress that affects asphalt pavement
performance over its service life. At the same time, the accumulation of plastics, especially …

The effect of adding recycled tire rubber granules on pure mode I and II fracture behaviors of
ordinary cement concrete is investigated using a testing specimen called the Edge Notch …

Brittle cracking is one of the most important causes of catastrophic destruction in structures
and infrastructures made of cement-based materials. Researchers have tried to reduce the …

In this study, the cracked straight through Brazilian disc (CSTBD) specimen was applied to
study the I/II mixed mode static fracture of diorite. The fracture load and fracture toughness …

A novel test specimen was designed for experimental investigations of pure and mixed
mode fracture. This novel test configuration is called “modified edge notched disc bend”(M …

Thermally-induced changes in the fracture properties of geological reservoir rocks can
influence their stability, transport characteristics, and performance related to various deep …

This paper investigates the results of brittle fracture in rock materials subjected to the mixed
mode I/II loading using different fracture criteria. Two sets of mixed mode fracture test data in …

Mixed mode brittle fracture behaviour of granite rock is studied experimentally and
theoretically using Asymmetric Four Point Bend (AFPB) specimens containing pre-cracks …
