Abstract: There is a lack of information about the behavior of cracked concrete subjected to in‐plane sustained shear loading. Tests are conducted on 46 push‐off specimens, each provided with a central crack, widths less than 0.10 ...

Abstract: A theoretical model is presented, analyzing in‐plane sustained shear tests on push‐off specimens, each provided with a central crack. The tests are described by an extended version of Walraven's two‐phase model accounting ...
