The Effect of Loading System Compliance on the Strength Cementitious Materials

本项目将研究用于预测混凝土和陶瓷等脆性胶凝材料断裂的理论模型的验证。这一结果将是非常有益的，不仅有助于预测胶凝材料的断裂韧性，而且使研究人员能够比较不同实验的数据，最终导致对建立未来材料测试标准的共识。

This project will investigate the verification of a theoretical model for the prediction of fracture of brittle cementitious materials, such as concrete and ceramics. The results will be very beneficial, not only for predicting the fracture toughness of cementitious materials, but also enable researchers to compare data from different experiments, and finally lead to a concensus of minds on establishing standards for testing the materials in the future.
