Abstract:
Chevron-notched and straight-through-notched three-point bend round bars are used to test fracture toughness K of a Chongqing limestone. The results show that the former specimen has some advantages over the latter in the aspects of preventing overload,avoiding deviation of crack growth from notch plane and considering nonlinear correction in calculation,etc. However,the size effects of test values are to be solved.
