Abstract
The modified compact tension test (MCT) might become in the future a stable test
configuration for the evaluation of fracture-mechanics parameters or also for description of fatigue
behavior of composites materials such as concrete. Core drilling is used for sampling of existing
structures. These samples have cylindrical shape with the selected thickness to avoid the stress
concentration. This contribution focuses on the evaluation of the fracture behavior during static and
quasi static tests. Static tests are performed on standard specimen with diameter 150 mm and length
300 mm. The quasi-static tests are performed using two different gripping fixtures. The results for
quasi-static tests are represented as L-COD diagrams (i.e. load vs. crack opening displacement)
measured on the loading axis. The comparison of results and discussion of advantages and
disadvantages are introduced.
