Understanding the Tensile Properties of Concrete: In Statistics and Dynamics, Second Edition summarizes recent research on this important subject. After an introduction to concrete, the book is divided into two distinct parts. Part One starts with a summary chapter on the most important parameters that affect the tensile response of concrete. Chapters show how multiscale modeling is used to relate concrete composition to tensile properties. Part Two focuses on dynamic response and starts with an introduction to the different regimes of dynamic loading, ranging from low frequency loading by wind or earthquakes to extreme dynamic conditions due to explosions and ballistic impacts.

Following chapters review dynamic testing techniques and devices that deal with the various regimes of dynamic loading. Later chapters highlight the dynamic behavior of concrete from different viewpoints, and the book ends with a chapter on practical examples of how detailed knowledge on tensile properties is used by engineers in structural applications. Drawing on the work of some of the leading experts in the field, the book is fully updated and will be a valuable reference for civil and structural engineers as well as those researching this important material.
