Experimental and Computational Data for "A Guide to Fully Characterize the Fracture Properties of Cementitious Materials from Simple Experiments"

Dataset

Description

This dataset accompanies the research paper "A Guide to Fully Characterize the Fracture Properties of Cementitious Materials from Simple Experiments" by Subhrangsu Saha, Bruce J. Moore, Ben Manaugh, Jeffery R. Roesler, and Oscar Lopez-Pamies.
The dataset contains experimental data for specimens made of mortar. The files contain experimental results from the following tests:
1. Brazilian fracture test with flat platen (Brazilian.csv): Contains u (Platen displacement) vs P (Load) from 4 experiments.
2. Wedge split test (Wedge-split.csv): Contains uh (applied horizontal displacement read from front and back) vs Pv (Vertical load) from 3 experiments.
3. Four-point unnotched bending test (4-point-unnotched.csv): Contains u (applied displacement) vs S (nominal maximum stress) from 4 experiments.
4. Three-point unnotched bending test (3-point-unnotched.csv): Contains u (applied displacement) vs S (nominal maximum stress) from 4 experiments.
5. Three-point notched bending test (3-point-notched.csv): Contains u (applied displacement) vs P (applied load) from 3 experiments.
