Abstract

A state-of-the-art review is given on the application of both linear and non-linear elastic fracture mechanics parameters for characterising the fracture behaviour of cementitious composites. Experimental techniques for the measurement of these fracture parameters are discussed and critically assessed in relation to fibre cements, mortars and concretes. It is shown that the fracture behaviour is best described by the R-curve which is believed to be a material property provided that certain size requirements are met. Theoretical models for the prediction of R-curves are considered. Some recent experimental results on fracture measurements of asbestos and cellulose fibre cements are also described. In particular, the effects of specimen size, geometry and environment on the R-curve are given.
