Abstract

An experimental procedure is described for obtaining compressive strength data at high rates of strain for slurry-infiltrated fiber concrete (SIFCON). A Monterey Research Laboratory dual-mass shock amplifier was modified to apply short-duration compressive loads to cylindrical test samples at rates of strain from 14 to 35/s. The data obtained are compared to data from static compressive strength tests and reveal increased peak compressive stresses at lower peak strains as compared to static strength values.
