Investigation on the characterization and modelling of Fracture Process Zone behavior in Concrete Beams subjected to Three-Point Loading Tests by H. S. Vishwanatha, S. Muralidhara, B. K. Raghu Prasad

“… The fracture behavior of quasi-brittle materials such as concrete is characterized by the presence of a fracture process zone (FPZ) that precedes the main crack. Within this zone, various mechanisms, including the formation of microcracks, crack deflection, aggregate interlocking, and crack branching, contribute to the complex nature of the fracture behavior. …”
