The artificial sandstones were prepared with respect to approximate properties of natural ones. The artificial sandstones were formed using the alkali activation of metakaolin and silica as aggregate. Effective fracture toughness was measured using the Effective Crack Model, which combines the linear elastic fracture mechanics and effective crack length approaches. A three-point bending (3PB) test of a specimen with a central edge notch is used in this approach.
