Optimization of the initial crack length in consideration of the groove width for wedge splitting test specimen
Seitl, Stanislav ; Klusák, Jan
An optimization of the initiate crack length in view of the width of grips groove of the wedge splitting (WS) specimen is the topic of the contribution. The WS specimens are now started to be used for fracture laboratory testing, especially of quasi-brittle cement-based composites. For the optimization the theory of the general fracture mechanics is used. For the numerical calculation the finite element method and ANSYS software are used. At the end, the optimal crack lengths for various grips widths are discussed and some suggestions are pronounced.

Únavové parametry betonu pro předepjaté vzorky
Seitl, Stanislav ; Juřinová, E. ; Keršner, Z. ; Bílek, V.
The paper presents values of basic fatigue parameters measured on three-point bending specimens of concrete for pre-stressed elements. These specimens are the most frequently used for fracture laboratory testing, especially of quasi-brittle cement-based composites. According to the regression technique, pilot Wöhler curve for predicting the fatigue life of pres-stressed concrete element is suggested. Keywords of the paper are fatigue/fracture parameters and cement-based composite

Únavové parametry vybraných vlaknových compozitůpři tříbodovém testu
Seitl, Stanislav ; Keršner, Z. ; Bílek, V.
The paper presents the influence of the various concrete mixtures on fatigue parameters measured on three-point bending specimens. These specimens are the most frequently used for fracture laboratory testing, especially of quasibrittle cement-based composites. From the test results, the effects of the fibre type and the fibre content on concrete fatigue behaviour are studied. According to the regression technique, Wöhler curve for predicting the fatigue life of each concrete mixture are suggested. Keywords of the paper are fatigue/fracture parameters and fibre reinforced cement-based composites.

Fatigue parameters of cement based composited: measuring and modeling
Keršner, Z. ; Seitl, Stanislav ; Pukl, R.
This paper introduces the basic fracture mechanics parameters of advanced building materials –selected glass fibers reinforced cement based composites and their fracture and fatigue behavior is investigated. Specimens tested were prepared as high performance concrete/mortar developed by ZPSV, a.s. company for production of thin-walled panels/elements. The dosage of cement CEM I 42.5R Mokra was 1000 kg per m3 of fresh mixture, water to cement ratio was 0.28, superplasticizer Spolostan; sand aggregates of 4 mm maximum size were used. . Alkali-resistant glass fibers (glass with high content of zirconium oxide) are applied with a dosage of 5 kg per m3. The introductory study was introduced by the authors, the study is performing in matter of the project Basic fatigue characteristic and fracture of advanced building materials.

Aspects of fatigue and fracture of advanced building materials
Keršner, Z. ; Veselý, V. ; Seitl, Stanislav ; Pukl, R.
The paper is focused on ideas about subject-matter of the project Basic fatigue characteristic and fracture of advanced building materials. The effort of this grant is to gain new pieces of knowledge about behaviour of advanced building materials through the effective application of till this time not used methods of complex determining of physical-mechanical and performance qualities. These are predetermined to describe fatigue, fracture and microstructural characteristics. Mentioned qualities will be modelled on the level of continuum/multiphase composite. There is presumption that will be gained results describing fatigue behaviour of studied materials, especially for application in construction with demands for high durability, it is necessary to follow initiation and propagation of microcracks complexly.

Vliv šířky zářezu na lomovou odezvu ohýbaných betonových vzorků
Veselý, V. ; Keršner, Z. ; Seitl, Stanislav ; Klusák, Jan
An influence of the test specimen’s preparation – shape and width of a stress concentrator – on the values of parameters of nonlinear fracture models of quasi-brittle cement-based composites is analyses in the paper presented. The parameters – e.g. effective crack extension, effective fracture toughness, and specific fracture energy – can be calculated from results of loading tests performed on notched three point bend specimens. The effects are investigated by means of a comparison of numerically simulated fracture process in the cracked specimen with the specimens with the double V-notch. The numerical simulations of the fracture according to the linear elastic fracture mechanics were performed by using finite element method programs (ANSYS, and FRANC2D). The influence on the load-carrying capacity and the initial compliance of the cracked specimen are introduced and discussed.

Influence of notch width and length on crack initiation in 3PB specimens
Seitl, Stanislav ; Klusák, Jan ; Keršner, Z.
The paper presents the influence of the various notch depths for the range of starting notch width on a crack initiation in three-point bending specimens. These specimens are the most frequently used for fracture laboratory testing, especially of quasi-brittle cement-based composites. It is shown that the values of fracture toughness obtained from the tests of specimens with larger widths with various length of the starting notch can be overestimated.
