Authors/Creators

  • 1. ROR icon Eindhoven University of Technology

Description

This database contains information on 30 experimental programs performed by various researchers. Each experimental program contains structural elements in which the crack width and spacing were measured. The database contains over twenty thousand data points and consists of three levels:

  • Level 1: Describes the considered experimental program.
  • Level 2: Describes properties of structural elements and material specimens within an experimental program.
  • Level 3: Describes the loads and data points.

The master database is queried in SQL and published as a .xlsx file. The structure of the dataset is explained in the README.
