In this study, the real-time tensile mechanical and fracture behaviors of concrete were investigated under concentrated and distributed boundary conditions using the Brazilian test. The digital image correlation method was used to evaluate the tensile strength and failure process. The results showed that the crack initiation occurred randomly at the center and boundary in Brazilian tests with concentrated loads, while it mainly occurred at the center in tests with distributed loads.
In this study, concrete was selected to investigate the real-time splitting tensile mechanical and fracture behaviours of brittle materials using the Brazilian test under concentrated and distributed boundary conditions. The digital image correlation (DIC) method was adopted to evaluate the tensile strength and failure process in Brazilian tests using a high-resolution camera. The DIC results showed that the position of the crack initiation randomly occurred at the centre of a disc and at the boundary in Brazilian tests with concentrated loads (BTC). Comparatively, the crack initiated at the centre of discs in most Brazilian tests with distributed loads (BTD), as validated by the DIC results. Our results indicated that the average nominal tensile strength of specimens cracking at the boundary was larger than that of specimens cracking at the centre in the BTC, suggesting that the nominal tensile strength measured by the Brazilian test was related to the failure process of the discs. Moreover, this study demonstrated that the tensile strength measured by the Brazilian test was dependent on the boundary conditions. The equation recommended by the ISRM (International Society for Rock Mechanics) might slightly overestimate the tensile strength of brittle materials based on the pure elastic theory and hyperbolic-distributed loading conditions at the boundaries.
