Dynamic Size Effect in Concrete Materials

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Size Effect in Concrete Materials and Structures

Abstract

As known, there is obvious size effect and strain-rate effect in concrete materials. Therefore, how concrete materials behave under the combined influences of size effect and strain-rate effect should be an interesting issue. Great progresses have been made in static size effect while almost no efforts have been conducted in dynamic size effect of concrete.
