Abstract:For studying crack propagation process, four-point shearing specimens,
with the maximum size of 2500mm*600mm*200mm, are utilized to
systematically investigate the crack initiation, stable propagation and
unstable failure of concrete by means of photoelastic coatings. Using
camera, the complete crack propagation process of concrete that appeared
as interference fringes on the photoelastic coatings was recorded and
the whole process of stable propagation and unstable development of the
main crack was recorded. Based on the colored strain sequence, the
strain distribution around the crack tip was measured and the curve of
P-a was also obtained. In the presence of the crack extended length of
photoelastic coatings, the finite element method was applied to simulate
the process of crack propagation and count the variation of stress
intensity factor at the tip of crack during crack extension. The results
show that there is an obviously crack stable propagation before an
unstable propagation, and that it can be recorded using photoelastic
coatings. Therefore, the failure criterion, taking no account of P-a, is
conservative. It can be also concluded that fracture mode has been
turned into I mode from Ⅰ-Ⅱ mixed mode after crack initiation, although
the loading condition is Ⅰ-Ⅱ mixed mode
