The response of concrete under tensile loading is crucial for most applications because concrete is much weaker in tension than in compression. Understanding concrete's response under tensile conditions is key to understanding and using concrete in structural applications. Understanding the Tensile Properties of Concrete summarizes recent research. After an introduction to concrete, the book is divided into two parts. Part One starts with a summary chapter on important parameters that affect the tensile response of concrete. Chapters show how multi-scale modelling relates concrete composition to tensile properties. Part Two focuses on dynamic response and introduces different types of dynamic loading, from low-frequency loading by wind or earthquake to explosions and ballistic impacts. Following  chapters review dynamic testing techniques and devices. Later chapters highlight the dynamic behavior of concrete from different viewpoints, and the book ends with a chapter on how engineers use detailed knowledge of tensile properties in structural applications. Drawing on the work of some of the leading experts in the field, Understanding the Tensile Properties of Concrete is a valuable reference for civil and structural engineers as well as those researching this important material.
