Figure 6.

An example of a P – CMOD curve for the purposes of calculating the double – K fracture parameters, where: Cu – the unloading compliance, Pini – initial cracking load, CMODp – plastic crack mouth opening, CMODe – elastic crack mouth opening. From point 0 to 1 the fracture process can be characterized as elastic and there is no further propagation of the initial crack, at point 2 maximum load Pmax is achieved

Size effects for geometrically similar structures on a bi-logarithmic scale with strength criterion and LEFM asymptotes (dashed lines). Solid arched line shows the transitional behavior of concrete between different types of size effects [37]

The effects of multiscaling fractal law on a bi-logarithmic scale: a) for the fracture energy, b) for the tensile stress; b – the characteristic reference size, dG – the fractional increment of the energy dissipation, dσ – the fractional decrement caused by the analyzed disorder

Figure 10.

The member boundary – crack tip relation in the boundary effect concept: a) the case of a “short crack”, when the crack’s tip is close to the edge, in other words front boundary, b) the crack tip is remote from both front and back boundaries and the linear elasticity’s rules applies, c) the case of a “short ligament” when the crack tip is close to the back boundary. The hatched area corresponds to the fracture process zone
