Abstract

Unique shock compression experiments have been developed and pursued which provide material equation of state data for dynamic strength, pore crush, shock Hugoniot and adiabatic decompression. Experimental data have been obtained on an aggregate concrete to Hugoniot pressures of 25 GPa. New analytic methods were developed to extract equation-of-state properties from dynamic test data. Unexpected residual strain results are compared with expected thermal expansion and dilatancy properties of concrete.
