For this purpose, two-dimensional simulations of three-point bending tests under variable load and geometry on notched cement paste samples of composite samples (cement paste/siliceous aggregate) are modeled by employing Cohesive Zone Models (CZMs). As a result of experimental validation of these tests, the CZM model demonstrates its capacity to predict fracture propagation at the local scale.}, journal = {International Journal of Civil and Environmental Engineering}, volume = {17}, number = {2}, year = {2023}, pages = {109 - 114}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10012965}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/194}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 194, 2023}, }
