An experimental and numerical study on the mechanical behaviour of an innovative composite material based on the combination of a self-compacting concrete (SCC) matrix with transparent glass inclusions is proposed. The experimental tests have been monitored by an acoustic emission (AE) device. The results are interpreted by a FEM model accounting for the fracture of the two different materials and the interface between them. The AE monitoring is used for the definition of the crack pattern, and to determine the fracture energy dissipation domain. ©2010 Society for Experimental Mechanics Inc.
