In develop ing the complianc e vs . crack s ize (C,-a) curve, a set of specimen s
with know n crack s izes wil l be s tatically loaded. The crack mo uth openin g
displacem ent (CMO D) wil l be plot ted against the appl ied nominal s tess o, as in
Fig. 2. The inverse of the CMOD -G l ine s lope is the comp liance C~. Since a
signif icant f racture process zone appears in concrete unde r mode rate G, the
magn i tude of G needs to be kept low to ensure that the or iginal kno wn crack s ize a
is not chan ged by the process zone. Plot t ing the data obtained from the test in a
graph as in Fig. 3, a regression curve can be dev eloped.
To est imate the ma xim um appl ied a , the s tress dis t r ibut ion in the process
zone is assumed parabolic and reaching f, at a distance (8+dy) from the physical
crack tip, whe re f, is the tensile strength, as show n in Fig. 1.- The m aterial be yo nd
that distance is elastic and the stress profile follows that fr om linear elastic
fracture mechan ics . The elastic s t ress prof i le is then extended back into the
process zone by the dot ted l ine. The ver t ical asymptote of the extended curve
determines the effect ive crack t ip, a t a dis tance 8 f rom the physical crack t ip.
From these assumptions and Irwin s model [15]

where K is the stress intensity factor calculated with effective crack size (a+8).

wh ere o~ = 8/a. To kee p 8/a < 0.05, (5) gives 8/f, < 0.138. Con side ring the
assump tions made, i t i s safe to l imit the maxi mu m appl ied nomin al s t ress G to 10

Center-cracked-spl i t t ing-disk (CCSD) and edge-cracked-four-point-bend-
ing-bea m (EC BB) specime ns of port land cement concrete , as show n in Fig. 4, are
being used in the experiments . AS TM Standard E647-88 [16] is used to guide the
specime n and exper iment designs. To minim ize crack s ize mea surem ent error , an
increm ental-poly nomia l met hod [16] is used to reduce crack s ize ao and crack
propag t ion rate dao/dN from raw measu rements .
