An intensive internal material damage evolution precedes a failure in quasi-brittle materials. Not only the existence of damage but also its quantification and the geometry of the Fracture Process Zone (FPZ) have to be identified in order to validate approaches on both numerical modelling of quasibrittle behaviour and experimental determination of fracture properties. Radiographic techniques and Digital Image Correlation method are very appropriate for analysing of the FPZ evolution during specimen loading.
