Estimation of Crack Mouth Opening Displacement in Concrete Using Optical Fiber Sensors
Optometry: Open Access, 2018 Concrete is a multi-phase composite material and used widely in construction industry because of high compressive strength and low cost. Its limited tensile strength makes it prone to cracking. Important parameters like characteristic length, fracture energy Gf critical crack width WC are used to understand cracks in concrete.
