“H” Shaped Echelon Joints Under Uniaxial Loading

In this investigation, the failure behaviour of “H” shaped non-persistent cracks under uniaxial load has been examined using experimental tests and Particle Flow Cod (PFC). Dimensions of produced concrete sample was 18 cm × 18 cm × 5 cm. Inside the sample, one “H” shaped non-persistent joints were provided. The angles of the “H” shaped non-persistent joint were 0°, 30°, 60°, and 90° degrees. A total of 12 layouts were considered for pre-existing...
