Abstract

In this paper, the Finite Element Method software was used to model the fracture behaviour of plain concrete (PC) and basalt fiber concrete beam for Mode I (Three point bending). Three point bending test of precast notched beams in different sizes and volumetric fiber dosage to obtain the energy release rate and stress intensity factor. Plain concrete have low tensile strength, little ductility and less resistance to cracking and basalt fiber enhance crack resistance. While improving percentage of Basalt fiber (BF) dosage could increase the peak load and fracture energy of concrete. Increase the dosage of fiber increases the initiation toughness. Unstable toughness is higher than ordinary concrete. Crack formation requires some amount of energy which comes with fracture mechanics concept. Results indicates that the finite element simulation results are good and there is no effect on fracture energy with different size of specimens. For precast notched beam crack starts propagate where it identifies high stress region and shows the fracture behaviour of basalt fiber and plain concrete beam. The finite element analysis software used in this study to predict the cracking and crushing in concrete member due to loading.
