Abstract
Chapters 5–10 will deal with the rate dependent to shock induced dynamic behaviour and modelling of concrete in tension. It can be caused in practical applications by structural dynamic response, stress wave superposition or a mixture of both. In every case the type of loading mechanism has very strong implication on the occuring and achievable peak strain rates. The current chapter will therefore introduce dynamic tensile loading states on the basis of practical applications. They range from moderate rate earthquake loading, across blast response to high and hypervelocity impact. The discrimination of structural and wave dynamic response mechanisms is a necessary basis to understand the description of dynamic material response regimes of concrete in Chapters 6 to 10Chapter 6Chapter 7Chapter 8Chapter 9Chapter 10.
