Crack propagation process
26.74 Prepeak
52.6
Cracks propagating to the left and right directions occurred from the vertex of the prefabricated fracture of specimen
34.38 At peak
101.2
Cracks further propagated to two ends, and cracks occurred on the right-end face of the specimen
23.73 Postpeak
121.0
Cracks propagating from the vertex of the fracture had increased width and connected through the specimen, and cracks covered up the two end faces of the specimen
