Push Out Test: Numerical Study of the Influence of Concrete Part Width on Load Test
Holušová, Táňa ; Klusák, Jan ; Seitl, Stanislav
The concrete and steel are often performed by mechanical connectors, which are resistant against shear load. These connectors can be subjected to adverse effect, which is high concentration level of tension in connectors or their tendency to corrosion. By using bonded joint such as an epoxy layer gritted by granulates it is possible to avoid these negative effects. The aim of the contribution is to show the influence of the various concrete block widths on values of the maximum load. The modelling was performed by 2D software ATENA (Červenka Consulting)

Calculation of Fatigue Crack Lengths from CMOD Measurement Performed on Concrete 3PB Specimens
Holušová, Táňa ; Seitl, Stanislav
The fatigue of cement based composites is now one of the progressive branches in research. To describe fatigue crack growth quantitatively it is necessary to know the values of materials parameters for Paris-Erdogan law. In cement based composites it is difficult to measure crack lengths directly. Therefore the crack mouth opening displacement (CMOD) is measured and then recalculated to crack lengths. The aim of the present article is to find the relation between CMOD and the corresponding crack length for three point bend (3PB) specimen by using cohesive model that is implemented in ATENA software

Numerical Analysis of the Thickness Influence on the Stress Field at Crack Tip for Different Poisson´s Ratios
Seitl, Stanislav ; Hanzlovský, Radovan ; Fernandez, C.
The influence of in- and out- of plane constraints on the behaviour of cracks under mode- I loading condition is studied. The independence of the stress intensity tensor structure, with respect to the specimen thickness B shows that under loss of constraint conditions higher order tensor members of the Williams expansion must be considered to characterize the singular stress field, and to explain the increasing apparent fracture toughness resulting experimentally for decreasing specimen thickness. A numerical study of the effect of Poisson’s ratio on stationary mode I crack tip fields is presented in the contribution. Finite element calculations for two-dimensional (v =0) and three-dimensional bodies are performed and compared. Further, the stress intensity tensor K, and the elastic txx and tzz components of the tij constraint tensor in the middle of a three-dimensional crack front are determined using direct methods for the same level of loading.

Crack lenghts calculation from COD measurement for cement based composites
Seitl, Stanislav ; Hanzlovský, Radovan ; Knésl, Zdeněk
The fatigue of cement based composites is now one of the progressive branches in research. To describe fatigue crack growth quantitatively it is necessary to know the values of materials parameters for Paris’ law. In cement based composites it is difficult to measure crack lengths directly. Therefore the crack open displacement (COD) is measured and then recalculated to crack length. The purpose of the present article is to find the relation between COD and the corresponding crack length for three point bend specimen.

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.
