Abstract:
The study of the concrete behavior over a large range of strain rates was the aim of a broad research project conducted at the Joint Research Center-Ispra (Italy). The program was developed to produce new data concerning a few basic but debated subjects of industrial importance. This paper describes the influence of the increasing aggregate size on the strain-rate tensile behavior of plain concrete.
