The response of concrete under tensile loading is crucial for most
applications because concrete is much weaker in tension than in
compression. Understanding the response mechanisms of concrete
under tensile conditions is therefore key to understanding and
using concrete in structural applications. Understanding the
Tensile Properties of Concrete Second Edition summarises key recent
research in this important subject area. After an introduction to
concrete, the book is divided into two parts: part one on static
response and part two on dynamic response. Part one starts with a
summary chapter on the most important parameters that affect the
tensile response of concrete. Chapters show how multi scale
modelling is used to relate concrete composition to tensile
properties. Part two focuses on dynamic response and starts with an
introduction to the different regimes of dynamic loading, ranging
from the low frequency loading by wind or earthquakes up to the
extreme dynamic conditions due to explosions and ballistic impacts.
Following chapters review dynamic testing techniques and devices
that deal with the various regimes of dynamic loading. Later
chapters highlight the dynamic behaviour of concrete from different
viewpoints, and the book ends with a chapter on practical examples
of how detailed knowledge on tensile properties is used by
engineers in structural applications. Drawing on the work of some
of the leading experts in the field, the book is fully updated and
will be a valuable reference for civil and structural engineers as
well as those researching this important material.
