In this paper, three-point bending tests were carried out o investigate the post-peak cyclic loading behavior of dam concrete under two loading rates. The fracture parameters, residual load capacity, cyclic modulus, dissipated energy, and deformation recovery were presented and analyzed. The analysis was made to understand the evolution of fracture process zone (FPZ) under post-peak cyclic loading for dam concrete by utilizing digital image correlation (DIC) technique. The results showed while the dam concrete under a higher loading rate showed an increase in maximum load, it is not necessarily the same for post-peak bearing capacity. The specimens with higher post-peak bearing capacity had higher residual stiffness, higher dissipation energy, and higher Crack Mouth Opening Displacement (CMOD) reversibility under cyclic loading. The FPZ development was investigated quantitatively, and the extension and retraction of its tip were observed. Moreover, it was found that the FPZ in specimens with higher residual stiffness developed more slowly, and FPZ had a more significant retraction rate during unloading for the specimens with higher residual bearing capacity.
