Wedge splitting test method: quantification of influence of glued marble plates by two-parameter fracture mechanics
In the present paper, the well-known wedge splitting test (WST) is applied on specimens with different geometries (S= 150, 200, 300 mm) and variants of the specimens’ configurations. K-calibration (B1) and T-stress (B2) calibration curves for such specimens are introduced. The objective was to com...

| Summary: | In the present paper, the well-known wedge splitting test (WST) is applied on specimens with
different geometries (S= 150, 200, 300 mm) and variants of the specimens’ configurations. K-calibration (B1)
and T-stress (B2) calibration curves for such specimens are introduced. The objective was to compare and
discuss the values of the calibration curves dependent on the specimen’s geometries and on three different
specimens' configurations: homogenous specimen; specimen with marble plates forming the groove for load
application and specimen with glued marble plates. |
