Mixed-mode fracture of construction building materials under impact loading is quite common in civil engineering. The investigation of mixed-mode crack propagation behavior is an essential work for fundamental research and engineering application. A variable angle single cleavage semi-circle (VASCSC) specimen was proposed with which the dynamic fracture test was conducted by using a Split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). Notably, the mixed-mode crack propagation velocity could be detected by the synchronized crack velocity measuring system. With experimental results, the dynamic initiation stress intensity factors KI and KII were calculated by the experimental-numerical method. Additionally, the crack path of mixed-mode I/II fracture can be predicated precisely by using numerical method. Thus, a comprehensive approach of investigation on mixed-mode I/II fracture under impact loading was illustrated in this paper. The study demonstrates that the mixed-mode I/II crack would transform from complicated mode I/II to pure mode I during crack propagation, and several velocity decelerations induced crack deflection. The dynamic initiation fracture toughness of mixed-mode crack was determined by the experimental-numerical method. The VASCSC specimen has a great potential in investigating mixed-mode fracture problems with the SHPB device.
