Abstract:The paper presents a part of a full-experimental campaign characterizing various Ductal® mix designs (compressive strength of 150, 170, 210MPa) with various dosages of fibers (2% and 3.25%). The dynamic tests are performed by means of two Modified Hopkinson Bar devices with that are installed at the DynaMat Laboratory in Lugano. The tests, in tension at different velocities were performed on cylindrical notched specimens of 60mm in diameter and 60mm height (notch/radius = 0.20). The preliminary results present… Show more
