A method to determine directly $J_{IC}$ from load-displacement curve without measuring crack growth amount is studied. A method to use key curve in determination of $J_{IC}$ is also considered. The values of $J_{IC}$ obtained from the above methods are compared with that obtained from the ASTM standard test method (E813). By performing experiments using both compact-tension specimen and three-point-bending specimen of a structural alloy steel SCM4, it is shown that the methods proposed here may be used in determination of $J_{IC}$.

This paper describes the use of the J-integral, a one parameter of the non-linear fracture mechanics(NLFM), as a means to measure toughness of steel fiber reinforced concrete. This parameter can be conveniently evaluated from experimentally determined load-deflection curves from flexural tests when a maximum-load failure criterion is employed. And, for high strength concrete which was reinforced steel fiber, with two different fiber length in the form of notched beams, were tested under 3-point bending, and $J_{IC}$, as well as the linear elastic fracture mechanics(LEFM) parameters $K_{IC}$ and $G_{IC}$ were evaluated. The results suggest that $J_{IC}$ is a promising fracture criterion for all of these. while $K_{IC}$(or $G_{IC}$) almost certainly are not. Also it was found that a fiber addition of less than 0.5% did not improve the fracture toughness of the high strength concrete. However, at more than 1.0% in fiber contents, $J_{IC}$ showed significant increases. reflecting the changed character of the concrete; $K_{IC}$ and $G_{IC}$ did not.

Elastic-plastic fracture toughness J$_{IC}$ can be used as an effective design criterion in elastic plastic fracture mechanics. In the J$_{IC}$ test methods approved by ASTM and JSME, there are discrepancies such as the definition of J$_{IC}$, the slope of the blunting line, curve fitting method and the measurement of crack extension etc. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the effect of these discrepancies on the determination of J$_{IC}$ values. Fracture toughness tests were performed on A516, SA508 and SCM415 steels, and test results were analyzed according to ASTM E 813-81, ASTM E 813-87 and JSME S 001-1981. Results showed significant differences depending on the analysis methods. Therefore, a conversion equation between two ASTM methods was proposed, and the conversion error was within acceptable range(less then 8.5%)en 8.5%)

The elastic-plastic fracture toughness J_{Ic}$ of submerged arc welded structural steel $SB_{41}$ which has the properties of low strength and high ductility was discussed, especially paying attention to a comparison between two methods recommended by ASTM and JSME. $J_{IC}$ tests were carried out with compact specimens by means of R-curve, SZW, ultrasonic and electric potential methods. Based on the investigations in this study, the results obtained are as follows; (1) The JSME R-curve method gave the smallest $J_{IC}$ values which were physically closest to the crack initiation and seemed to be more practical and stable procedure between the two R-curve methods. (2) The JSME SZW method tended to slightly overestimate the $J_{IC}$ values at initiation of ductile tearing. (3) The ultrasonic and electric potential methods which also had a tendency to overestimate these $J_{IC}$ values were confirmed to be applicable and useful in determining these values. (4) The $J_{IC}$ values by the JSME R-curve method were 18.06 kgf/mm and 17.25kgf/ mm for the smooths and the side grooved CT specimen respectively.

Interest in fracture of structure has increased significantly over the past decade. New approaches to analyze structural performance have been accompanied by the development of test methods to characterize material behavior in a manner compatible with the analysis. Several test methods have been developed as a results of advances in fracture mechanics, for example, $K_{IC}$ , $J_{IC}$, R-curve tearing instability and CTOD approaches. Among the rest, fracture toughness $K_{IC}$ and $J_{IC}$ can be used as an effective design criterion in fracture mechanics. Generally, the determintion of $J_{IC}$ was performed according to ASTM E 813 or JSME S 001 and $K_{IC}$ was performed according to ASTM E 399. In this study, the test method for $K_{IC}$ and $J_{IC}$ were discussed.scussed.

Accurate measurement of K_IC values for gas pipeline steels is important for assessing pipe safety using failure assessment diagrams. As direct measurement of K_IC was impossible for the API X70 pipeline steel, multi-specimen fracture tests were conducted to measure J_IC using three-point bend geometry. The J values were calculated from load-displacement (F-δ) plots, and the associated crack extensions were measured from the fracture surface of test specimens. Valid data points were found for the constructed J-Δa plot resulting in J_IC=356kN/m. More data points were added analytically to the J-Δa plot to increase the number of data points without performing additional experiments for different J-Δa zones where test data was unavailable. Consequently, displacement (δ) and crack-growth (Δa) from multi-specimen tests (with small displacements) were used simultaneously, resulting in the variation of Δa-δ (crack growth law) and δ-Δa obtained for this steel. For new Δa values, corresponding δ values were first calculated from δ-Δa. Then, corresponding J values for the obtained δ values were calculated from the area under the F-δ record of a full-fractured specimen (with large displacement). Given Δa and J values for new data points, the developed J-Δa plot with extra data points yielded a satisfactory estimation of J_IC=345kN/m with only a -3.1% error. This is promising and showed that the developed technique could ease the estimation of J_IC significantly and reduce the time and cost of expensive extra fracture toughness tests.

Many researchers have recently proposed various parameters, variables of models and experimental methods to evaluate fracture properties of concrete, and their developments allow us to analyze the non-linear and quasi-brittle fracture mechanisms. This paper presents a brief treatment of the fracture parameters. Additionally, three-point bending tests were conducted to compare J-integral($J_{Ic}$) with other parameters($K_{Ic},\;G_{Ic},\;and\;G_F$). The change in parameter values with respect to the width and notch length of concrete beam specimens was also considered. The load-displacement curves were used to measure the concrete fracture toughness experimentally. From the results of experiment, it was found that the value of $G_F\;and\;J_{Ic}$ decreased as the notch depth increased and that $G_F$ was less sensitive than $J_{Ic}$. Therefore, the former, $G_F$, is more appropriate in using it as the concrete fracture toughness parameter. The values of $G_F\;and\;J_{Ic}$ increased when the width of concrete specimens increasing from 75 mm to 150 mm. Thus, the effects of the specimen width should be considered in determining the fracture toughness of concrete.
