Abstract Concrete structures such as offshore platforms, costal and port structures, dams, etc., are often submerged
in water [1]. The water within concreter pores or cracks has a great influence on crack propagation
behavior [2,3]. Several wedge-splitting experiments of compact specimens are conducted with a designed
sealing device to study the water effects on concrete crack propagation. Different water pressures and
different loading rates are considered loading on the pre-crack surfaces and waterproof strain gauges are
stuck along the crack path to observe the fracture process during the experiments. Water pressure values
on crack surfaces are… More >
