The assessment of crack growth rate in quasi-brittle materials is lately very often studied problem of fracture mechanics. This contribution is focused on comparison of fracture parameters obtained from two fracture tests with similar shape of specimen – the wedge splitting test and the compact tension test. Both tests are applied on cylindrical specimens made from cement based composite. Numerical simulations for both configurations are performed in software ATENA. The amount of fracture energy consumed during fracture process has been compared for particular configurations.
