Abstract
Cement paste, mortar, and concrete were studied to examine the influence of loading rate on operative toughening mechanisms. The fracture toughness of cement paste was found to be independent of crack length, while mortar and concrete exhibited strongly rising resistance curves. In the case of cement paste and mortar, the peak fracture toughness was found to be independent of the loading rate. Ln concrete, the peak toughness was found to decrease with increasing loading rate. Surface roughness measurements were performed to understand the effect of loading rate on the fracture mechanisms. The roughness analysis coupled with fractography were found to correlate with the toughness measurements.
