Original Abstract

The paper is focused on virtual modelling of crack widths during concrete beams fracture. The basis for this work is an experimental work, where statistical characteristics of crack width were analysed in detail. It is a unique experiment on deep reinforced concrete beams subjected to four-point bending. The question arises if crack width statistics can be obtained numerically by nonlinear fracture mechanics simulation. This was stimulation for this research. The aim of the work was to compare crack widths using the simulated reinforced concrete beams with the values from the experiments.
