The semi-circular bend (SCB) test is one of the tests to investigate the mode-I fracture toughness of rock and convenient for estimating it. The conventional SCB specimen has straight shaped notch.However, it is preferred to use of V shaped (or chevron) notch in SCB specimen, because of some technical difficulties associated with making a sharp crack or creating pre-crack to perform experimental tests. In this paper, the minimum dimensionless stress intensity factor of semi-circular bend specimen with chevron notch is calculated using finite element analysis with ABAQUS software. The result is then compared with analytical result obtained from slice synthesis method. Good agreement can be observed between two results.
