Description:
The paper is focusing on the investigation of the effective crack length obtained from bending test on concrete notched beams with the complementary measurements of electrical resistivity of the tested concrete. The electrical resistivity measurements are performed on several stages of the fracture process along the specimen ligament for each tested notched beam. Gained results of the concrete resistivity during the fracture process, i.e. its dependence on the crack length or opening, provide information which should be taken into account in structural durability analyses. The fracture tests are conducted for a set of specimens differing in the notch length. Changes of the concrete resistivity with increasing effective crack length are observed and discussed.
