Abstract:
      Based on Paris' displacement formula and by considering the role of cohesive stress in the fracture of concrete,a theoretical expression for crack opening displacement of three-point bending notched beams is derived.Then,with the initial fracture toughness taken as the criterion of crack initiation,the derived expression is applied in simulating the whole cracking processes of concrete,including the beginning and development of cracking as well as the subsequent failure of concrete.To test the validity and performance of the model proposed in this paper,its calculating result is compared with experimental data and that of the finite element model and a high agreement exits among them,which indicates that the proposed method is not only simple in form and application but also with high precision.
