Original Abstract

The paper discusses creation of numerical models of the modified Compact Tension (CT)test configuration on specimens made of fine-grained cement composite. Numerical models of thistest configuration are used for predictions of crack initiation and damage propagation and areimportant for the further evaluation of fracture parameters. To assemble the numerical models,ATENA FEM software was used. In this software, fracture of the structure/specimen caused bycracks, their initiation and progressive propagation throughout the loading process, can bemodelled. In case of this study the material model for concrete based on cohesive law approach wasused. The analysis is focused on evaluation of 2D and 3D numerical models created with realmaterial properties obtained from experimental data
