MICRO-CRACK DEVELOPMENT IN MORTARS, PART 1: FRACTURE EXPERIMENTS AND CT-SCAN OBSERVATIONS
This paper describes a method to measure the 3D-microstructure of a material which can be used to perform fracture simulations.A model concrete is made and the 3D structure is obtained with a CT-scanner.Uni-axial tensile tests are performed on cylindrical specimens of the model concrete and of a mortar.The model concrete shows more micro-cracking,a more tortuous crack path,a lower tensile load and a less brittle behaviour compared to the mortar.Furthermore it is found that the opening of the crack is more uniform when the material is more heterogeneous.
