Abstract
The newly developed gap test and ten types of classical fracture tests of concrete are used to evaluate the performances of three popular numerical models. The crack band model with microplane damage constitutive model M7 is found to match all the experimental results well. However, the phase-field models show large deviations from the test results, and peridynamic models are even worse. Examination of four recent variants of these models does not change the overall critical appraisal.
