This work promotes the applicability of the so-called modified disk-shaped compact tension (MDCT) test, as an alternative and reliable pulling solution to the conventional CT or DCT, using also cylindrical shape specimens for measuring the specific fracture energy of concrete, in particular when the fracture behavior of a concrete in an already built structure must be assessed.
However, when the mechanical and fracture behavior of a concrete in an already built structure is required, cylindrical drilled cores are extracted from the concrete structure allowing the compressive strength, the splitting tensile strength and the Young's modulus of concrete to be easily determined (Abou et-Mal et al. 2015; Harkouss and Hamad 2015).
