v7.32.128 WTNP128 — Concrete corner splitting test under fluid pressure

Summary:

The test presented here makes it possible to verify the correct functioning of the joint elements with hydromechanical coupling and the use of cohesive laws.

The modelled test is a wedge splitting test with fluid pressure in the crack.

Comparisons with experimental and numerical tests are available for this test.
