EnglishThe present paper proposes a method to calculate Mode I plane-strain fracture toughness of concrete, by taking into account the possible crack deflection (kinked crack), even in the case of a far-field Mode I loading. As a matter of fact, during fracture extension, cracks may deflect as a result of microstructural inhomogeneities inside the material. Concrete is an inhomogeneous mixture due to aggregates embedded in the cementitious matrix, but additional inhomogeneities may be represented by fibres. Firstly, a two-parameter fracture model based on Mode I analytical expressions of the linear elastic fracture mechanics is employed. Then, in order to take into account the possible crack deflection as a result of the above inhomogeneities, a modified version of such a model is here discussed. Three-point bending tests on both plain concrete specimens and concrete specimens reinforced with micro-synthetic polypropylene fibrillated fibres are experimentally performed, and the modified model is applied.
