AB  - Dynamic tests demonstrate an extensive rate effect on the tensile strength as well as the post-peak behaviour beyond loading rates of about 50 GPa/s. One of the possible explanations for the observed rate effects on the fracture behaviour is enhanced resistance by moisture in the pores. To study the influence of the moisture content and pore structure on the rate dependency, different moisture contents and concrete types are used and tested at three loading rates. From the test results it is concluded that the moisture volume, porosity and pore structure play an important role for tensile strength as well as…
