Extract

The knowledge of the loading rate influence on the tensile strength of concrete is of considerable importance in engineering practice. The safety of several concrete structures subjected to impact and impulsive loads is often controlled by the tensile strength and stress-strain behaviour because these properties greatly influence the cracking of concrete, bond properties of reinforcing steel and behaviour under shear forces.
