Question: A three - point bend beam shown in Figure 2 was tested to measure values of E , K I c , and C T

A three-point bend beam shown in Figure 2 was tested to measure values of E,KIc, and CTODc. The dimensions of the beam were S=600mm,b=150mm, and t=80mm. An initial notch of a0=50mm was used. The values of Ci=0.000006mmN,Cu=0.000008mmN, and Pc=3400N were measured. The weight of the concrete is 2300kgm3. Assuming HO=0, determine the values of E,KIc, and CTODc based on the twoparameter fracture model.
