Abstract

A series of plate impact experiments have been performed to assess the dynamic behaviour of dry and water saturated concrete under shock-loading. Information was obtained on the Hugoniot curve and dynamic shear properties using manganin gauges. This extends our previous data obtained on cement paste, mortar, and micro-concrete to full-size concrete. Despite the varying heterogeneous composition of concrete it has been found that all materials Hugoniot curves lie within a close range in Stress—Particle Velocity space (σ-u<subscript>p</subscript>).
