Abstract: A nonlinear model for the fracture process zone (FPZ) that exists at the tip of a crack in concrete is developed through the interactive use of experimental data and finite element analysis of crack‐line‐wedge‐loaded ...

Abstract: A combined crack closure‐shear transfer model of the fracture‐process zone (FPZ) of concrete was developed through an interactive use of fracture‐test data and finite element analyses of crack‐line wedge‐loaded, double‐cantilever ...
