Note. Results of average cylinder compressive strength^(a) and modulus of elasticity^(b) were same as given in Table 2. The results of tensile strength^(c) are taken from Table 4. The results of fracture energy^(d) were calculated using the formula given in Table 2.12 in [26]. Prescribed displacement^(e) is provided on trial basis. The values of maximum strain^(f) at the bottom and at the top were estimated by the results of the lateral displacements (in mm) by the distance between the monitoring point 3 and 4, which was 60 mm.
