Abstract
The work presented in this paper is part of an experimental investigation program regarding the tensile behavior of intermediate strength concrete. In total, ninety-one oncrete cylinder specimens were casted and eighty-two of them were tested in uniaxial compression and indirect tension. The concrete specimens were systematically varied in size. The splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity of concrete exhibited a definite size effect. It was attempted to rationalize the size effect following a size effect law of the specific elastic fracture energy. A tensile concrete strain invariance is supported by the experimental findings.
