Abstract
This paper presents results for the fracture energy of concrete (G(F)) obtained from a wide range of high-strength concretes. Strength level s up to 100 MPa, aggregate type and aggregate surface texture were inc luded as variables. The determination of G(F) was performed according to the recommendation of the RILEM 50-FMC Committee. Compressive and t ensile strengths and the modulus of elasticity are also presented. Mea sured values of G(F) are compared with those proposed in the last CEB Model Code.
